You're building a Java version of libRTI (RTIambassador) communicating
with the C++ RTIA, right? I think this is the best way to do HLA
bindings to different languages.

The FlightGear plug-in doesn't depend on any CERTI specific functions,
so it may work. I have never tried. I was scared away by the dependency
on Java. I was even not able to compile the Portico's RTI.
