[Proj] Using jniwrap

[Michael Speth]

Thanks Martin,
   I didn't know the wrapper expected degrees.  The proj command that I 
am using I think is taking coordinates from a unit sphere and projecting 
with the HEALPix projection (I am currently working on this projection 
and will provide a patch to Frank).  It doesn't read data from a file.

So I would like to replicate this using the jniwrap for my own testing 
purposes.  Can this be done?

Thanks
