        On Android, JUCE needs to be initialised once before it is used. The Projucer
        will automatically generate the necessary java code to do this. However, if
        you are using JUCE without the Projucer or are creating a library made with
        JUCE intended for use in non-JUCE apks, then you must call this method
        manually once on apk startup.

        You can call this method from C++ or directly from java by calling the
        following java method:

        @code
        com.rmsl.juce.Java.initialiseJUCE (myContext);
        @endcode

        Note that the above java method is only available in Android Studio projects
        created by the Projucer. If you need to call this from another type of project
        then you need to add the following java file to
        your project:

        @code
        package com.rmsl.juce;

        public class Java
        {
            static { System.loadLibrary ("juce_jni"); }
            public native static void initialiseJUCE (Context context);
        }
        @endcode

        @param jniEnv   this is a pointer to JNI's JNIEnv variable. Any callback
                        from Java into C++ will have this passed in as it's first
                        parameter.
        @param jContext this is a jobject referring to your app/service/receiver/
                        provider's Context. JUCE needs this for many of it's internal
