KDE is not the only API any Java programmer would be using; you know.  The 
majority of the API would be the java.* and the javax.* stuff.
Being consistent with that is what will make this library easy to learn.  

Leverage existing docs or code is meant to say you expect people to copy 
paste C++ code and adapt that to Java?
In that case you should probably try programming Java for some 6months 
since C++ is really different enough to not make that worth your while.
Unless you want to answer questions like: "How do I do a 
macro/preprocessor/whatever in Java?"

Anyway; just moving classes to other packages is really not going to make 
this stuff incompatible or whatever;  java IDEs will autodetect package 
and add it in your java file fully automatic anyway.
