The simple answer is you can't. MIDP does not support JNI.

The only way a midlet can communicate with native code is over a
conventional socket connection using localhost (127.0.0.1). Of course this
requires a dedicated C++ .exe that listens for incoming socket connections
from the midlet and responds appropriately. This dedicated C++ .exe could
then load that native DLL. For more information on this framework check out:

services"
