Something i found out recently in a similar binding project for one of my libs is that using JNA instead of JNI simplifies things a lot, basically you don't need C glue code just use the com.sun.jna classes to describe your structures. Way simpler, might be a bit slower though ! The main problem on those bindings is proper handling of memory over long term, explicit document destruction in C v.s. garbage collected set of linked references, and that i doubt JNA really helps over JNI.
