Perhaps some of the resources below can be used as a starting point.
The Matlab actor uses JNI.
Ptolemy II includes a JNI actor facility, but the UI is broken right now.
See
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII4.0/ptII4.0.1/jni/doc/JNIActorHelp.pdf
How to use the JNI actor facility is covered in ptII/jni/demo/jni/README.htm
The release notes say:--start--
Limitations in JNI
- The Interface to C actors using the Java Native Interface is not available via
the Windows Installer (or Web Start). To use the JNI/Ptolemy II interface, you
must download Ptolemy II as source files and compile. - The JNI user interface does not permit creation of new JNI actors.
If you follow the instructions in JNIUtilities, then eventually you will get a
NameDuplicationException.
The resulting model will be missing
<property name="output" class="jni.Argument" value="false,false,true,double">
</property>
In the short term, one workaround is to edit the xml file directly and add the
appropriate property by hand.
- JNI will not work with Hierarchical classes, subclasses, and inner classes
--end--
In addition, there are problems with the JNI interface under gcc-3.3, gcc-3.2
is recommended.

created the kepler/docs/tutorial/JNIHowTo.txt with detailed instructions on how
to create jni based actors.
