Scott, Since you are using Linux, the best thing to do is to install gcj. This will provide jni.h jni_md.h and a number of other Java-related things. What Linux distrro are you using? You should be able to install gcj by using the update facility of the distro. Where did you get liblouisutdml? The Java bindings are still a work in progress. There is a nasty bug in the code I am working on. When that is resolved and I get the Windows build files to work I'll make a new release. For now, the file2brl command-line interface will provide all the Braille translation and formatting you need. BrailleBlaster is not ready for that yet. Since you are interested in doing documentation, I wonder if you would work with me on completing thd documentation of liblouisutdml. There are many new featrures that were not in liblouisxml. I'm just too busy with coding and debugging to have much time and energy for documentation.
