Of these toolkits, J-Integra stands out. It integrates Java with COM in pure Java. By talking to COM components over TCP/IP, J-Integra even works on non-Microsoft plattforms..
Special interest
There are various libraries available that provide access to specific functionality on Windows. Many of those could be replaced by the likes of JNIWrapper. Nevertheless, I included them for completeness.
Nota bene: I think it's pretty obvious that the Java community lacks creativity when it comes to product names. We really should stop naming our products "JSomething" or "Something4j".
1) New Feature: Complete support for Manipulating Windows registry in a non native way. All create/read/update/delete operations supported. Please check the WinReg package.
2) New Feature: For inproc servers like DLLs and OCXs , and auto register feature has been provided, using this flag in JISystem\JIClsid\JIProgID class can result in the library making all the registry related changes required to run any Inproc server. It is done on the fly.
Beta will be released next week. If anyone has any feature request, they can send the same to me till mid next week.
After 10 months of development and 8 Alphas, I proudly present the first beta. The library will remain in Beta stage for next 2 months before it hits stable.
I thank all developers for using j-Interop and coming out with some very useful comments.
