The only thing I have to add to the comprehensive advice is:
Use the stubs jar. Do not attempt reflection.
The stubs already exist:
<http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/AppleJavaExtensions/index.html>
It is far, far simpler to use them than it is to develop a comprehensive
set of dynamic proxy interfaces. "Rather painful" is an understatement.
Like having a red-hot needle pierce your eyeball is a "momentary
inconvenience", because it's only a moment before you pass out.
