The source is in the Bindings/Java/ subdirectory of brltty's source tree.

Note that the jar also contains libbrlapi_java.so, which contains the C BrlAPI
client library and the JNI that's needed to bridge to it.

None of our code is obfuscated.

Make sure you're studying the Java objects. You should have no need to study
the C interface.

There's no BrlAPI method to do that. I can't even imagine why that'd be
necessary. If it really is then we could add the capability to brltty's
Advanced Settings screen.
