call VB application in java

[jianbo]

I want to call a VB application in my java code. I need set bunch of properties and run it. It looks like Runtime.exec() cannot handle this. Is there anyway to call a COM object in java? like
obj = new COM(myVBapplication);
obj->property1 = blur1;
obj->property2 = blur2;
...
obj->run;

If that application can be lauched from the command line, I'm pretty sure that Runtime.exec() can handle it.

Anyway, if you want to use COM objects, take a look at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jcom/

or do some googling on java com bridge.

Cheers,
