Hi Niko!
This is very cool! :-)
Most of r_dict tests are in test_objectmodel, though you may want to
have also a look at rpython/test/test_rconstantdict.
About the distinction between r_dict and "custom dict": do you find any
place where they are used interchangeably?
I would say that r_dict referes so the rpython-level type
(objectmodel.r_dict), while "custom dict" should refer to the low level
type used by the rtyper (ootype.CustomDict). Also, probably CustomDict
would be a better name than RDict for your java class, I guess.

Adding weakrefs to gencli was very simple: I just needed to map
lltypesystem.llmemory.WeakGcAddress to 'System.WeakReference', add the
straightforward support for constants to cli/constant.py and add the
also straightforward 'cast_ptr_to_weakadr' and 'cast_weakadr_to_ptr'
operations in opcodes.py.
I don't know for jvm, but I guess it would not be much more complicate.
