Java and the magic JNI

In fact I like Java: No segfaults, the compiler spits out helpful errors and so on.
But at the moment I am forced to use JNI (Java native interface), to access some dll functions from a Java app. As some might know (as Andy does ;) ), this is real pain. Although everything compiles just fine, the JVM will spit out stupid errors which leads you to the wrong places to look for failures. PAIN!
