I am certainly no expert on java, but it seems that a "pure java"
version of the ca client library would be somewhat at odds with the
normal domain of java which from my perspective is rapid prototyping,
code component integration, and web development. There may be advantages
in using a JNI to jump into optimized C or C++ code when something low
level needs to be done, and efficiency is important. An example of this
is the java implementation of a hash table. Admittedly, there are
complications with expanding the "sand box", but I assume that a java
expert can overcome these problems by maintaining architecture specific
downloads on a central website. Certainly the JNI approach is a good way
to reduce CA system code maintenance and upgrade duplication.

Unless we end up with unique and independent protocol interfaces
spinning freely, but incompatibly, within each and every project with no
hope for interoperability and leveraged effort.
