I'm using JavaCL as the underlying library, which uses JNA rather than JNI. My understanding of the distinction (which is not perfect) is that JNA relies on bindings generated at runtime, rather than the static per-platform binaries used in JNI. As a result, you only need a jar file.
I believe JNA is slightly slower than JNI, but the asynchronous design of OpenCL makes this a non-issue; as long as enqueuing a computation takes less time than the computation itself, it doesn't really matter how fast your bindings are.
