[ann] ctypes4j 0.2 released

SUMMARY:

ctypes4j is a Java library that enables calling legacy C functions
without coding JNI. This enables simple and rapid prototyping when
platform integration is required. Ctypes4j achieves this by providing
classes that enable both the creation and manipulation of C data types
in Java, and the calling of C level functions in dynamic link
libraries/shared dlls. Callbacks are also supported. It is based on (and
named after) the Ctypes module for Python, by Thomas Heller et al.


DETAILS:

Do you need need acces to platform features not included in the JDK?
Do you not want to involve yourself with JNI?

If so, read on:

enabling you to

* call C DLL's on windows and shared libraries on UNIX

* access the windows registry on older VM's

* call back into java from c cunctions
