Yes, I found that out after spending enormous amounts of time trying to use the native vision libraries with Java. The result was definitely not pretty (the vision code was many times longer than it would have been with C++), and got even uglier when I had to create my own C file to read from a cRIO file.

A program written in C can easily be run on a cRIO imaged for Java, but as far as I know a Java program cannot be run on a cRIO imaged for C.
