javac

   has been implemented for a long time: The compiler is
   written in Java, but the call uses a native executable

   So, what I am looking for is some example code for this.
   Maybe someone has already published a generic wrapper code
   in C or C++ under the GPL to be used in such cases?

Surely it's called the shell.

In UNIX/Linux you can use a shell alias.
You could also use a shell script containing the necessary java command
line, call the script "jdir" and make it executable.

In Windows land I have no idea if there is a concept similar to the
shell alias. But you do have the .bat script which serves the same
function as the executable shell script.

Indeed, that is how ant is implemented in Windows and Unix.

Also Maven, WebLogic, ...

IntelliJ is a .exe which I'm guessing uses JNI to start up a JVM. Those two
are pretty much your choices.
