Proof of concept only: http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/javaclass.html

If there were any really compelling libraries for Java that really had
to be available for CPython programs, I'd probably have worked around
the "platform issues" mentioned in the above document by now. However,
most people should just use Jython if they want Python and Java
interoperability, and gcj if they want to write Java for use with
CPython (just as the PyLucene people have done).
