So this means we would need to poll the rust side for any errors?

yup, this is a tedious consequence of ffi code. there are a few different c-style error patterns you can use, but they're all pretty manual. rust exceptions (panics) can't cross the ffi boundary (doing so is undefined behavior).
realistically, we'll probably only end up having like 20ish ffi functions. if we had hundreds, i'd suggest writing an annotation processor or some other kind of reflection magic in java to automate this.

Okay and there is no way from Rust to push an event into Java?
