If the COM object supports IDispatch ("OLE Automation") you may use
Eclipse SWT to access it. Resulting code is quite verbose but it does
work well. Back in the times I wrote a wrapper generator, which could
generate Java wrapper classes for easy access from the metadata
retrieved with SWT from the OLE Automation metadata.
