We did the same: we used GL2PS in Java with JOGL via the JNI, and we
didn't have any problem.

Yes, it's possible. Moreover, we did not encounter any problem when
we implemented it. If you had trouble with it, I suspect that there's
some problem in your JNI interfacing, rather than in the GL2PS code.

If there is further interest in Java/JNI binding, we can submit our
implementation for incorporation into the next GL2PS public release.
