I created a D binding to JNI and some convenient wrappers around it.
Here it is: https://github.com/Monnoroch/DJni

Note, that this is a port from similar C++ lib, so it can be not the best D code, but it's a start.
I would love if someone would contribute to the project.

Nice, have you tested this against gcj by any chance?  If not I could give it a whirl and report back.

No, only dmd, somwhat around 2.053. Report would be awesome.

I am not sure there is much point in testing against gcj, the only real market is OpenJDK, Oracle (which is OpenJDK just packaged), J9, Azul. Of course the chances of accessing the latter two are probably zero ;-)

Not sure why, I have J9 right here on my laptop. And anyone can get an evaluation version from IBM.

As for gcj, lets bury it. It is dead since 2009.

For those that care about native code compilers for Java, there is RoboVM, Aonix, Excelsior JET, Aicas and a few other ones.

Could not find any examples or descriptive unittests. I would be very interested in using something like this!
