Following my experience with SWT, I can only advise people not to do
this if at all possible.  Better to do everything that requires
handling pointers in C++ and use a layer that isolates them in opaque
structures.


But if you have a C++ data structure that contains pointers, how
do you get at this data structue from a Java object in the first
place?

It is possible to have a C++ table of C++ objects, and reference
the C++ objects using integer indexes, but that has some extra
overhead, including extra synchornization issues.
