GCJ native compilation

Hi,

I'm working on packaging Zemberek[1], a Java(TM) based Turkish NLP library
which can be built with GCJ.  I have a few questions, could someone please
help?

- Is there a policy about naming the CNI ((Compiled Native Interface)
  Debian packages.  I couldn't find any clear reference on Debian Java
  Policy.

- Is /usr/lib the right directory for the shared /libpackage*.so files?  Or
  should I use something like /usr/lib/cni?

- As compared to compiling the .java sources to the native lib*.so, would
  there be a performance decrease if we just compile the .jar file (that
  is, .class files)?  I was unable to find was unable to find any reference
  in the gcj documentation.

Thanks for further input.
