Project Home Summary is Inaccurate - no JNA 3.5+ / Java 7 compatible release

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've seen in some revision comments in the code that it has support for 
gstreamer-1.0. Also, I'm using Java 1.7 and cannot use <1.6 for my project.

I believe the summary on the front page is not up to date. Specifically that 
part that reads:

Important: Current version of the gstreamer-java is NOT compatible with:

    GStreamer 1.0 or above,
    Java 7 or above,
    JNA 3.5.0 or above. 

this means the last usable version are

    GStreamer 0.10,
    Java 6 (1.6.x),
    JNA-3.4.0. 

In relation to the closed issue here:

I also need JNA 3.5+ support ASAP.  Supporting this will guarantee support for 
Java 1.7 - though you'll almost certainly find Java 1.7 works OK (the 
incompatibility is somewhat theoretical!)  It will also allow improving 
performance by allowing for better callback thread management.

I'm happy to start some work on this if someone involved with the project is 
happy to do some reviewing / committing?  Unless someone has already started on 
this?

Can I suggest that this issue be used to track JNA 3.5 updates?  GStreamer 1.0 
is another thing entirely as the API's aren't compatible and is a much bigger 
change - shouldn't issue103 be reopened?

It is necessary to add getFieldOrder() function to all structures for JNA 
3.5/Java 1.7? I am using successfully the current gstreamer-java with jvm 1.7, 
but I guess there is not guarantee my code won't suddenly crash.. It would also 
be a step towards gstreamer-java on Android. Lot's of people will be happy to 
review/use the new code.

Sorry to reopen, but this isn't really fixed until there's a new release 
available.  The front page summary suggests that the current download is OK, 
and it isn't.  For a simple GStreamer-Java based library that is currently in 
development, we'd like to point people here to download, but that's an issue 
until this is resolved.

btw - can I suggest some altering of issue tags, in particular adding a Fix 
Awaiting Release tag that shows as open until a new release incorporating the 
fix is out?

The current head working with jna 3.5 but some junit test fail with java7
Should we release a new version without java7 fixes or only after both working?

Immediately, I'd suggest editing the frontpage to make clear the current 
download is not compatible and anyone who needs this should checkout the source 
for now.  Then, possibly Tal's suggestion (on list) for a 1.6b1 release.

What specific tests have issues?  Pretty sure when I made the edits to support 
JNA 3.5 I built and ran tests against both 6 & 7.  Happy to check if I can 
reproduce specific issues here (Ubuntu 12.04 64bit).
