[sdljava-users] feature request: better Java integration

[Robert S. <the...@gm...>]

Hi Ivan,
I have been playing around with sdljava and thought about the following 
problem: The SDLMixer API allows me to read WAV and MUS files only from 
the local filesystem. However a typical Java application loads its 
resources from streams or out of a JAR file (using the ClassLoader).

My suggestion is to use the so-called direct buffers from the NIO 
package (since 1.4). These are buffers in native memory which can be 
shared by Java and SDL. Direct buffers are pretty famous for doing all 
kind of native<->Java interaction (e.g. OpenGL bindings use them 
extensively) maybe they are of use here, too :)

Btw: Same kind of problem arises in the SDLImage API.
