[libvirt] Packaged Java bindings for libvirt

Now that java is officially free, it's a good time to get the bindings the full support they deserve. This work is based on Tóth István ealier 0.0.1 version sent to the list. I refactored the tree a bit, added auto* configure capabilities, spec file and added it in CVS. I used a separate tree for CVS, I think we don't need to couple the releases for both. The package is named libvirt-java (no suprize), it compiles, build and seems to work fine on Fedora 9 with OpenJDK 6, compilation seems to also work with gcj but my build failed because jar failed to run du to a missing class... I'm really not a Java expert, I would really welcome addition from those who know, there is many things to be added: - ant makefile - Eclipse integration/makefile - making it work on Windows - completing the API to cover the full 0.4.x set - many things that Java experts will find missing ! I think we can keep this mailing-list as the primary channel for discussions. The CVS base is next to the libvirt one, use the same instructions but use 'co libvirt-java' instead of 'co libvirt', next thing I need to do is write a documentation page to put on libvirt.org. Anyway: libvirt-java-0.1.0 can be fetched from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/java/ I will submit this for Fedora inclusion too, feedback and patches very welcome. many thanks to Tóth, he's the one who did all the code, and he reviewed my first version :-) enjoy !
