Panama unresolved error when instantiating wayland struct...

FWIW, here is a quick prototype that you could use as a utility method 
until then:

     public static long offsetOf(Class<? extends Struct<?>> cls, String 
fieldName) {
         Group g = (Group) 
Layout.of(cls.getAnnotation(NativeStruct.class).value());

         long offset = 0;
         for(Layout l : g.elements()) {
             Optional<String> name = l.name();
             if(name.isPresent() && name.get().equals(fieldName)) {
                 return offset / 8; // convert to bytes
             }
             offset += l.bitsSize();
         }

         throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not a valid field name: " + 
fieldName);
     }

Cheers,
Jorn
