I've been playing recently with a very naive reuse of BasicExternal infrastructure which is supporting external objects in JS backend. Looks nice so far and I'm able to hard code some RPython-accessible objects (in a very ad hoc manner, mind you). I don't know Java that well, but I would be happy to help with this issue.
