(speaking as the dbus-java author) I also want to statically generate my
bindings, but I want to do so from a file which specifies the API. At
the moment I can do this by introspecting something which has the
appropriate interface, but I'd rather do it from a repository of
interface files which are shipped with the software.

If I'm _writing_ an API (rather than using someone else's) then I want
to write it in Java and have the introspection/typelib/IDL/etc generated
from the Java, not the other way round. In my world I wouldn't expect
anyone to write the XML, it would all be inferred from the original
program and then used to create the binding in subsequent programs.
