Subject: [ruby-talk:11729] Interfacing with Java (sort-of)

Hi,

Is anyone familiar with low-level aspects of Java internals and whatever 
Sun's Java community license is?

Are most of the basic Java libraries written in C? What I'm wondering is 
whether it would ever be feasible and reasonable to make use of various 
Java libraries (e.g. Swing, etc.) for cross-platform Ruby versions, 
without having to go through the JVM or through JNI stuff.
