Wrapping Irrlicht for Android
Irrlicht is well-known open source 3D engine, which supports multiple platforms. It has been ported to android by Laurent Mallet, source code can be obtained from https://gitorious.org/irrlichtandroid/. The code is written in c++ language, but android mainly supports the java language. Using native c++ on android to develop applications is more difficult, and not convenient, especially to debug. For developer to use irrlicht easily, it is best to provide java interfaces.
The work here is wrapping irrlicht engine to enable it to provide the java interface. Traditional method for java calling native code is using the jni mechanism. But irrlicht engine is big and has many render objects. Using jni directly to wrap irrlicht will be a hard work. We have to define classes in java, create c++ code skeleton, maintain global reference of java object to irrlicht render object, process callback, etc. In order to simplify programming, CLE is use
