Hello, I’m very new here.  
What I would like to know is the newest status where Csound has been developing Java binding on Mac silicon. I repeated to test on version 6.18, in vain. The error seems to be stemmed from jnilib, so I guess that even in version 7, such a development has not been initiated.  
If anybody does know on this topic, I’d appreciate to your response.  
Thanks In advance.

I create CsoundFFM which uses Java FFM to bind with Csound. I’m using it currently in Blue.

Should work with both Csound 6 and 7, and works on arm64 macOS. It does not fully implement the Csound API yet, but essentials are there. If you need something let me know.

Thank you for recommending CsoundFFM.  
I’ve researched how to use it with Processing, and I understand it requires Java 22+. Processing 4 currently bundles Java 17, but I’m testing whether I can replace the bundled Java runtime with Java 22 to enable CsoundFFM.  
If successful, this would give me the low-latency bridge I need between Csound 7 and Processing.

I’ll report back on the results.

Many thanks for your reply!
