[gdal-dev] Using SWIG from a Driver

[Even Rouault]

Not that I am aware of, and not in GDAL source tree for sure.

I'm not sure if you can call Java code with SWIG. Perhaps, but that's perhaps
more a question for a SWIG mailing list. I don't see how the code of the GDAL
SWIG bindings could help you since you will use a dedicated API for your Java
library.
