Just wanted to pipe up on this topic. I completed the Java port as a GSoC project back in 2010, and yes the design of the modules is to just pass around large strings/buffers. This makes it easier to use as a library, yes. Though a bit of a heads-up, I believe there may still be some places where the code uses System.exit() instead of just throwing an error, which can be an issue when using it as a library.
