Hi, AFAIK it is not easy to do that due to C++ name mangling and 
the absence of any ABI in C++ itself like C 

A possible but limited workaround should be to create a DLL with a C interface
which uses the boost objects you need. Next, you can call it through JNI,
but obviously you can pass only basic data types
