is there a reason that the Java classes don't belong to a package?
I now assume you speak about a java binding to libcurl.
All the bindings to libcurl for all languages except the "native" C one are
products and projects that are written and maintained outside of the core cURL
project. There are well over 30 different ones at this time. Some are very
advanced and capable, while some are very barebones and rough.
They all make their own packages and releases of their projects. I don't think
the java one is any different. Just make a package and put it somewhere. If
you tell us about it we can link to it from the libcurl/java page on the curl
site.
From what I know, some people have tried to get a "javacurl" project in the
past at several occasions but none of the efforts ever took off particularly
well. The 'javacurl' project at sourceforge being one such example.
I think it makes the most sense to do the binding work within a context of
people who use the language you're doing the binding for. In this case that
would be java people. You don't typically find that kind of people here, on
this list.
