I've added the netwm.h and netwm_def.h headers to the 
kdebindings/smoke/kde/kde_header_list configuration file. That is what drives 
the generation of the Smoke library when you configure kdebindings (for ruby 
and perl bindings). I'd really like to generate the java bindings at 
configuration time too. Anyhow, I don't want to update the bindings in the 
cvs until the 'missing KCommandHistory virtual method callbacks' problem is 
fixed.

But in the meantime this is the way the java bindings are generated:

$ cd kdebindings/smoke/kde

Edit the 'generate.pl' file and change the '-fsmoke' option passed to the 
kalyptus configuration utility to '-fjni'. 
It will then generate .java and .cpp files for the netwm classes.

Copy the .java NET sources to the kdebindings/kdejava/koala/org/kde/koala 
directory, and them to the Makefile.am and then make.

# Generate the jni headers:

for FILE in MyNETClass.class ; do NAME=`echo $FILE | sed 's/.class//'`; 
    echo $NAME; javah  -classpath "../../..:$CLASSPATH" org.kde.koala.$NAME ; 
done

for FILE in org_kde* ; do NAME=`echo $FILE | sed -e 's/org_kde_koala_//'`;
      echo $NAME; mv $FILE $NAME; 
done 

Copy the headers to the kdebindings/kdejava/koala/kdejava directory and add 
them to the Makefile.am file (along with the corresponding .cpp files). Copy 
the new NET cpp files from kdebindings/smoke/kde.
