I think Inline::Java should be the next big push. Here's how to do it:
1) Define a module called Inline::Java with the following methods:
A) register() - simple, see Inline::C
B) validate() - to support Java specific config options
C) build() - use javac to parse java instead of Parse::RecDescent. Find
out how to get all of the resulting function signatures back from the
Java class. Save the ones that use simple types into some cache file.
D) load() - load or connect to a JVM. Bind the functions into Perl like
Exporter does. Write some C code to convert Perl strings and numbers to
Java ones. Ignore anything more complicated.
Something like that. Look at Inline::Python for some inspiration. I
think we (on this list) who are interested, should start playing around
with the idea. The worst thing that can happen is we learn something.
Also, we should reuse code that's already out there. Like Java.pm and
JPL.

Nope. It's secret.
