The only thing that I know of that may be related is 'ctypes for java'.
In the early ctypes days, a guy named Bradley Schatz was interested to
port ctypes to java, and I added him as developer for the ctypes project
on sourceforge.  I don't know anything about the status, but there IS
something in CVS, and from time to time I see that Bradley commits
something:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ctypes/ctypes-java/

You might ask him directly about ctypes-java.
