RE: [Java-gnome-developer] GnomeCanvasPoints

Brad,

Here are some pointers to help you get started.  The bindings
can be extended in four ways.  The are:

1) The first is adding entries to the defs files located 
in src/defs directory.  The entries in these files drive 
what the code generator creates.  

2) The next way to extend the bindings is to make new 
entries in the src/tools/JNIProps.txt file.  This file 
helps determine how the code is generated.  You can 
define new types in this file and then use them in 
the defs files.  

3) The third way to extend the bindings is to write 
the code by hand.  This is necessary when you run into 
a situation that the generator cannot handle even by 
extending the bindings with the first two techniques.  
You add manual code to generated classes by adding 
files into the src/code/jni directories.  The code
in the java directory is added to the end of the generated
java files and the code in the glue directory is added
to the end of the generated native code.

4) The final way to extend the bindings is to write
new classes and native code which are not a part of the
code generation process.  These files are placed in the
src/other directory and must be added to the Makefile
to ensure they are part of the build.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
