There is a script in the src directory that should do this
for you.

Think of it as more of a merge.  You need to make sure you
don't overwrite any manually code that has been added in the
src/java or src/jni directory.  The generator is now just a
development tool that generates the binding code for us.  For
example, I just changed the signature of a method in the gtk2.defs
file and ran the generator.  Once finished I just copy/paste the
method from the java and c file into the equivalent files in
src/java and src/c.

Hope this helps.

I am still out of the office on a family issue.  I will have
minimal access to email until late tonight.  I hope to catch
up with you then.
