Description : interface between OCaml and Java via Caml/C interface and JNI

CamlJava is an interface between OCaml and Java allowing programs written in
one of the two languages to call code written in the other.
.
Interaction among the two languages happen via the respective C interfaces:
Caml/C interface for OCaml and JNI (Java Native Interface) for Java.
.
Currently, CamlJava provides a low-level, weakly-typed OCaml interface very
similar to the JNI. Java object references are mapped to an abstract type,
and various JNI-like operations are provided to allow Java method
invocation, field access, and more.
.
A basic callback facility (allowing Java code to invoke methods on OCaml
objects) is also provided, although some stub Java code must be written by
hand.
