Third party 3d viewer with Java bindings

[Knacktus]

Hi there,

Is there any chance to use a Java component within Qt in a "sane" way?

Background story:

I've got a third party closed source 3D viewer lib. The lib provides two APIs: Java and ActiveX. ActiveX would be the perfect match using the QAxWidget. The problem is that the ActiveX API is not comprehensive at all compared to the Java API and it seems to be a bit buggy. I didn't get the current version to work, only a quite old release. Also, "nobody" uses the ActiveX API, so even the company's support guys can't really help with the ActivX API.

Cheers,

Jan

It is possible to use the Java Native Interface to access Java from C++. I have no experience with that, however, and I don't know if and how you can integrate it with the GUI.
