Check out Adam Ruppe's jni.d. It just about eliminates JNI verbosity and makes working with Java actually temptingly pleasant. Only caveat is that Adam has left mainline D and is maintaining his own fork, so jni.d may or may not work with upstream D in its present form. (Pre-fork versions of jni.d would work with a compatible upstream D, though.) T -- All problems are easy in retrospect.
