  Description     : interface between OCaml and Java via Caml/C interface and JNI

   CamlJava is an interface between OCaml and Java allowing programs written in
   one of the two languages to call code written in the other.
   .
   Interaction among the two languages happen via the respective C interfaces:
   Caml/C interface for OCaml and JNI (Java Native Interface) for Java.
   .
   Currently, CamlJava provides a low-level, weakly-typed OCaml interface very
   similar to the JNI. Java object references are mapped to an abstract type,
   and various JNI-like operations are provided to allow Java method
   invocation, field access, and more.
   .
   A basic callback facility (allowing Java code to invoke methods on OCaml
   objects) is also provided, although some stub Java code must be written by
   hand.
