IIRC, calling C interfaces from Java code (using JNI), has been possible from Java 1 (or maybe 1.1), but most Java developers don't want to deal with native dependencies in their applications. That in itself is the main reason to write against a wire protocol and not against a native library. The main reason that Jaybird actually supports a native library at all is for Firebird embedded.
