Description
I've seen a couple requests go by for Java bindings, filing this so we don't forget.
https://docs.rs/jni/latest/jni/ is one way to glue JVM<>rust. Discord also pointed me to https://github.com/java-native-access/jna, which may be an easier way to get off the ground? Not sure which is best, just listing options for now.
And similar question as in #90: once we have something for JVM+Java, we should also look at other JVM-hosted languages like Clojure, Kotlin etc. and see if they're happy with talking to the Java API or what.

Research direction
Start by comparing the linked jni and jna approaches, then review the related JVM bindings discussion in issue #90. The issue does not name files, tests, or an API design; scope needs to be defined around Java bindings and whether Clojure and Kotlin can use the resulting Java API.
