Java seems to have gone that road. Not sure if it was a bad idea or not.

In what way did Java go that road? Java doesn't impose any constraint on location across projects.

Wellllllllll... until you actually start to write code against JNI, of course. But the project LAYOUT is simple!

JNA[1] makes things much simpler.
