Maybe that's something I could help out with, if I have time..

I've used JNI a bit, and have some experience in passing stuff from/to=20
java, even streaming stuff (I made a buffering wrapper for InputStream fo=
r=20
example, that I then used directly for libjpeg, libpng and other librarie=
s=20
that parse data gradually). The data was streamed (in java) from the=20
internet directly, so the native libraries could start decoding jpegs=20
while still downloading, for example.
