Description
The macros in jni_util.h should have JNU_ prefix, rename:
 - CHECK_NULL, CHECK_NULL_RETURN
 - CHECK_EXCEPTION, CHECK_EXCEPTION_RETURN
Comments
The JNU prefix is needed only for macros with an Env argument. The CHECK_NULL and CHECK_NULL_RETURN macros have a more general use and are fine without the prefix.

The macros should use the common defensive form of do { ...} while (0)
