Jambi ships as a single Java library, or JAR (Java Archive) file, plus a handful of tools, including an interface layout and design tool, and an Eclipse plug-in. Trolltech uses its vaunted Qt C++ library as the GUI engine and puts Java wrappers around it. This approach uses the JNI (Java Native Interface) to call the necessary functions from Java. More here.

Everything good and well, not counting the fact that QT Jambi runtime libraries are around ~30MB - so you can forget about using QT Jambi to write small desktop tools.
But apart from that, it's awesome and I'm sure I'll use it some day.
