You could use a Java-COM bridge. JACOB,
http://www.danadler.com/jacob/is one that was mentioned earlier in the thread and there are many others.
It's a long time time since I looked at that sort of thing, but I
recall that the APIs were all very ugly and verbose. Is that still the
case? Would a generic COM wrapper written in Scala look any nicer than
one written in Java?
