    java plugin: Added the ability to have `Write' callbacks in Java modules.
    
    I think right now having both, a `Read' and a `Write' function, would be
    a problem, because the same thread would enter the JVM twice, possibly
    detaching itself from the JVM when the write callback is finished, while
    it actually still is in the read callback. Adding a `dispatch thread' or
    something similar should take care of this problem.
    
    Other than that, converting `data_set_t' and `value_list_t' to their
    Java equivalents and back works fine now.

    java plugin: Add an early prototype of a Java binding, similar to the Perl plugin.
    
    It's totally proof-of-concept, but it's possible to dispatch values from
    a Java class using the ValueList implementation provided by Doug
    MacEachern from Hyperic. The other way around is not yet implemented,
    but that's just a matter of time and code. Configuration, notifications,
    targets, matches - all that is still missing.
    
    Right now, the code requires JNI version 1.2. Maybe I'll try to
    introduce compatibility with JNI 1.1 at a later point, if it's really
    useful for somebody.
