Description

I am the developer of the Java-Objective-C-Bridge project which uses jna at its core. I have had a couple of requests to contribute it to the core of JNA. I am willing to contribute this to the JNA project.

Is this something that you would like to have in JNA? If so, can you advise the best steps for me to take to contribute it - incl. where it best fits into the file structure?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked project and JNA’s existing core structure; the contribution is not ready to begin until maintainers confirm whether it belongs in JNA and define its intended scope.
