For me, most tricky parts of nio is Buffer. You have to extend JNI to 
enable them, make some special tricks in jvm to allow them to work with 
acceptable speed.

Do you think that Buffers should be a part of classpath ? Or should they 
be left for jvm implementors ? There is quite a lot of code there - all 
kinds of wrapper classes, splitting, views etc. But on the other hand, 
core get/set functions have to be really optimized for specific jvm...

Any ideas ?
