Daniele,

In addition to the notes already provided by someone else,
you might also want to review (and possibly improve) the wiki
topic:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ECW

I would note that no change is required for the java binding
generation when adding new formats or plugins.

Best regards,
