Changes to compile Java bindings in QuantLib-SWIG module

[toli]

Joe,

In the course of playing with QuantLib we've found some problems with
the Java compilation of the QuantLib-SWIG project.

We've made some modifications to the configuration files, please see
the attached patch.
Would be great if this can be included into the HEAD of the
QuantLib-SWIG project.
The diffs are based on the QuantLib-SWIG-0.3.14 release, and i don't
think there have been any changes to the relevant files since the
release.

The patch file expects there to be a directory QuantLib-SWIG-0.3.14
and the changes to be made in a dir called
QuantLib-SWIG-0.3.14_java_patch.  However, you can just run it with
'patch -p1 < quantlib-swig_java_ver_1.6-head.patch' in the HEAD of
QuantLib-SWIG and it'll apply the changes.

Also, it seems that there's a discrepancy with the SWIG/options.i file
and the way the Option.Type enum is defined. I think the current file
in the HEAD of SWiG/options.i has the values reversed - the
Quantlib option.hpp file has it this way at
http://quantlib.cvs.sourceforge.net/quantlib/QuantLib/ql/option.hpp?revision=1.41&view=markup
      enum Type { Put = -1, Call = 1  };
while the SWIG/options.i is
enum Type { Call = -1, Put = 1};
I took the liberty of flipping it to look like the option.hpp file in
the patch as well.

The patch file also contains a small test program Hello.java that does
a basic sanity check to make sure the created Java library works.
And it expects the variable JAVA_HOME to be declared and pointing to
the location of the JDK, and tries to place the generated java wrapper
library into the lib/ directory under the JRE.

hope this helps. please let me know if you need me to change anything,
or if things don't work for you.

Yikes.  That option problem is nasty.

I've fixed that in HEAD.  It may take me a few days to go through the other
patches.  Thanks!!!

Turns out that I had a moment to check the patch the files and check them in
to HEAD.

Thanks.
