8 I have to correct myself. There seem to exist JIGS, or GNUstep Java
9 Interface, e.g. at http://www.gnustep.it/jigs/index.html
10 .
11 (According to the project main page) the project aims to provide
12 integration between Java and Objective-C. Its main purpose is to allow
13 Java programmers to use the GNUstep libraries from Java.
14
15 That said, there exist a source code only (possibly dependent on a GNUstep
16 environment)
17 The package is not in portage, yet.
18 There seem to exist only one example (on the project page) which uses this
19 wrapper.
