Did you know that Andi Vajda has already created a fantastic wrapper for
Java called JCC? http://pypi.python.org/pypi/JCC/2.3

Contrary to your project it doesn't create the wrappers in runtime. It
analyzes the jar file(s) with JNI, created C++ templates and wraps the
C++ code in Python wrappers. JCC even allows you to implement native
methods of Java classes in Python.
