Hmm.. I packaged libreadline-java (a small JNI library with a couple of
wrapper classes) with the -java extension as a result of (my understanding
of) the java policy. :)
Is there a particular reason to distinguish between native Java classes and
classes with JNI implementations? As far as whoever's using them is
concerned, they appear the same, no?
The only issue I could think of was that you want the JVM to find the JNI
library in its default search path; I resolved this by putting the
corresponding C library in /usr/lib, and this appears to work fine from what
testing I've done.

Well, I can offer libreadline-java for you to look at, but that of course
doesn't mean it's done the Right Way.
Ben. :)

I don't hide much, but sometimes people don't understand that I
talk about them. Then we sit in the same room and they haven't got a clue.
That's also the reason why I don't want to explain every detail of my work.
