[Kde-bindings] Dynamic Proxy/SMOKE lib based java bindings code gen progress

[Richard Dale]

I've updated the '-fjava' option of the kalyptus tool to generate the same 
java api as the JNI based one '-fjni' in the KDE 3.2 release. I've attached 
the generated QFont.java source as an example. 

To look at the rest of the generated code, edit 
kdebindings/smoke/kde/generate.pl.in and change the '-fsmoke' option passed 
to kalyptus to '-fjava' (or '-fjni' to generate the JNI ones). Then configure 
kdebindings with a '--with-smoke=kde' option, and it will generate the 
sources in the smoke/kde directory.

This is an example of a proxy being created:

 	private static Object _static_proxy = null;
	static {
		_static_proxy = Proxy.newProxyInstance(QFont.class.getClassLoader(),
			new Class[] { QFontProxyInterface.class },
			new SmokeInvocation() );
	}

I think that this code would be better off encapsulated in a factory method, 
eg qtjava.createProxy().

This is an interesting discussion of the dynaop AOP framework, and as 
comparison with other AOP approaches:

http://weblogs.java.net/pub/wlg/1001

It would be nice to add AOP facilties in the style of Nanning or dynaop, as 
the way these proxy based aop frameworks are structured is very similar to 
the proxy based bindings.
