No commit message explaining why this is needed?

Alas, it looks like we don't have an active libvirt-java maintainer
participating on this list right now.  Would you like to take over the role?


I would like to take over that role, but I'm quit busy with some other projects like Ceph and CloudStack. However, CloudStack uses the libvirt-java bindings very heavily, so with that in mind it would be a good oppertunity.

The bindings seem quit old indeed and need updating.

I would like to become the maintainer, but I can't promise I'll have them updated within a short matter of time.

It's been a long time since I coded in Java - in fact, before java.nio
was introduced.  That said,

On the surface this looks reasonable.

          return returnValue;
      }

This is an API break.  Deleting functions is generally bad for existing
users, unless we have proven the old signature is completely unusable.

You are right, I shouldn't have broken the API here.


+    public Pointer virSecretGetValue(SecretPointer virSecretPtr, LongByReference value_size, int flags);

And since your new function has a different signature, why not just keep
both as an overloaded function?

That is what I should have done indeed.


      public String virSecretGetXMLDesc(SecretPointer virSecretPtr, int flags);
      public SecretPointer virSecretLookupByUsage(ConnectionPointer virConnectPtr, int usageType, String usageID);
      public SecretPointer virSecretLookupByUUID(ConnectionPointer virConnectPtr, byte[] uuidBytes);
