Reflection and Private Native Methods

I am using reflection to dynamically call some methods from extended class. Unfortunately one of the开发者_运维技巧se methods is declared as private native and as soon as I make the call... I receive the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class com.something.somewhere.MyThing ca
n not access a member of class com.something.somewhere.AnotherThing with modifier
s "private native"

Is there a way around this?

are you calling setAccessible(true) on the Method before invoking it?
