This would be very good. But can you wait approx. one week (actually till
the begining of the next week)? I would like to clean up JayBird's code that
will be released and fork a release branch. Then we can add your code into
the main source tree.

If you still prefer to add it to the CVS now, then I think we have to put it
in a directory parallel to the src/main/, because your java code "conflicts"
with existing code in src/main/

I think client-java would be the right place.

What about:

client-java/src/native - for native code.
client-java/src/ngds - for your Java code if you want to commit now.

Good. BTW, if you like, you can check David Jencks' build.xml to build
native part of InterClient. You may consider ant as a build environment for
your code too.

Makes sense. Not every Java developer has C/C++ build environment, so having
pre-compiled version of library would be a nice thing.

Have you thought about the license for your code? May I suggest LGPL, same
as JayBird main code? Note, you must add a license to all your files before
committing them. If your license will be different from LGPL or MPL/IPL
(these are currently approved and in use), I think we will need to discuss
the license question in firebird-devel list.

Thanks!
