Evaluation of COM to Java bridges - November 16, 2005

At work we needed to access a COM object in a DLL from Java. We started out using the open source Jawin tool, but unfortunately we never got it stable. My unit tests failed about every second time. So we ended up buying a license for EZ JCom, which despite its corny name turned out to work great.
