I've set up a google group to discuss adding FFI to the JVM.

On the JRuby project, we've been working to improve our integration of
native libraries for years. At JVMLS 2013, I presented on the Java
Native Runtime (JNR) project, created by Wayne Meissner. We've been
using JNR for years to support a wide range of native libraries, and
the Rubyists love us for it.

It's time to get an FFI library built into Java.

The group is jvm-ffi at googlegroups.com and you can join here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jvm-ffi

Anyone who's interested in having fast access to native libraries with
the JIT and GC happily cooperating...get involved. I want a JSR for
Java 9.
