Hi Thomas,

Im still lurking about on this list, and ctypes4j hasn't quite died in the
water as might be expected (perhaps I should update the web page more often
when I do CVS updates ;)

Ctypes4j is pretty much a full c/java bridge at present, but I havent found
the time to look at taking it into the COM world as you have done with
ctypes.  

Bradley

The only thing that I know of that may be related is 'ctypes for java'.
In the early ctypes days, a guy named Bradley Schatz was interested to port
ctypes to java, and I added him as developer for the ctypes project on
sourceforge.  I don't know anything about the status, but there IS something
in CVS, and from time to time I see that Bradley commits
something:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/ctypes/ctypes-java/

You might ask him directly about ctypes-java.
