EZ JCom 1.8

Using EZ JCom, you can call COM/ActiveX components written in any language from Java. You can also call Java from COM-aware languages such as C#, Visual Basic or Visual C++.


No knowledge of C++ or COM is necessary.

EZ JCom can be used on Windows platforms to access COM/ActiveX components locally. It can also be used from non-Windows platforms (such as Unix, Linux, Mac, or Handhelds) by using the included Remote Access Service. For details of using EZ JCom from non-Windows platforms, please see the Remote Access page.

COM/ActiveX components with visual interfaces can be easily utilized from Java by embedding them in Swing or SWT panels.

For those who need advanced control over COM/ActiveX or whose COM/ActiveX components are complex, EZ JCom also includes support for choosing STA vs MTA, complex data types such as records, variants, arrays, arrays of records, multi-dimensional arrays, reverse callbacks from COM objects into Java for event handling, and more.

Because of its plug-and-play nature, EZ JCom is perfect for developers and teams that have better things to do with their time than learning complex and error-prone low level details with limited usage! EZ JCom is high level, transparent, and does not involve its users in low-level detail. EZ JCom just works, right out of the box. It handles even very advanced COM concepts, and does so in a transparent way. It uses Java Native Interface, so it has very high performance. And still, it can be called from other platforms when required.
