[fedora-java] Self Introduction - Bob Deblier

[Bob Deblier]

Hi all,

I'm the author of the BeeCrypt crypto library (already in Fedora, used
by RPM), and as previously announced at FOSDEM 2005 in the GNU Classpath
developer room, currently working on reviving a Java CSP which will use
BeeCrypt's native routines.

What I'm looking for is advice on the best approach to integrate
building a CSP jar file, deriving native interface headers from multiple
classes, followed by compiling a C shared library with the native code.

My tentative approach is using autoconf to figure out if either gcj/gcjh
or javac/javah is available, generate a build.xml file for Apache Ant. I
have this working for Sun's JDK. Support for gcj should be easier once
libgcj contains javax.crypto - is this planned for 4.0?

Sincerely,

Bob Deblier
