It might be possible in theory, but in practice it might be very, very

I don't find it all that hard to write CNI code, but then I do it with
some frequency.
There's a project called Jaguar which might do some of what you want.
It was announced here recently.
MS has something called JDirect which, I think (I haven't looked at it
yet), lets you call native methods directly from Java with no glue
code. (We don't support this though.)
