Answer 1

Using JNA you would do this:

String myDocsPath = Shell32Util.getFolderPath(ShlObj.CSIDL_PERSONAL);

JNA extracts a DLL on-the-fly and then uses JNI with this DLL to make Windows API calls. It hides all the JNI details from you though. Using JNA is as easy as using any other java library JAR.
