What Is JACOB?JACOB is a JAVA-COM Bridge that allows you to call COM Automation components from Java. It uses JNI to make native calls into the COM and Win32 libraries. The JACOB project started in 1999 and is being actively used by thousands of developers worldwide. As an open-source project, it has benefitted from the combined experience of these users, many of whom have made modifications to the code and submitted them back for inclusion in the project. The JACOB project is moving to Sourceforge.net. Verion 1.8 is now available at Sourceforge. If you are a sourceforge developer and are interested in contributing to the project, please contact the project administrators. Version 1.7 includes some new features as well as many bug fixes, memory leak plugs, as well as new models for threading and object lifetime which will make the code much more robust. See the release notes below for details. |
