This issue happens when no classes are used in your code. If you add usage of TObject, the Java code will work.
I've fixed this in trunk in r40179.

In r40179 I've added the "-N" switch to pas2jni which prevents auto-loading of the shared library.

Just get the latest trunk sources of pas2jni and compile it to get the fixed version.
