Assuming you want to use the Java extension (which in turn uses the JVM of course), how do you plan on making the usage of the classes easier for the developer? Do you wish to provide a simplified API to each class, or do you just want to streamline error catching (catching Java exceptions in PHP can indeed be cumbersome)?
