File Geodatabase Explorer using Java

Question

I started to get my hands dirty with the File Geodatabase API and created some sample File System Explorer using Java. This is my first intimate touch with JNI and I have to learn it the hard way.

As far as I can judge it ... this API rocks. Nothin' but a GDB thang babe! 🙂 
Thanks for this API.

Source Forge: JFileGdbExplorer

There is a first implementation here, that could be hardened on the community usage,

simple to use and install : GitHub - frett27/jfgdb: Java File Geodatabase (FGDB) JNI Wrapper, permit to read/write simple features in .gdb from Java

Based on 1.4 FGDB C++ API, using JNI

How did you produce the JNI bindings to C++? I'm looking at putting a Java interface in front of the File Geodatabase API, and putting REST services in front of it, amongst other things. I'd be interested in any lessons learned, since JNI-from-scratch is relatively new to me.
