Isn't it the same as using any COM interface?

Hello dse,
Currently EA does not support RMI out of the box, but we are working on this for a future version. I believe there is some software around that can bridge the gap between Java and COM i.e. JCOM - But I haven't had a go at them as yet.

Superb!

RMI or probably better CORBA would be greatly appreciated!

Or maybe, using JNI might be a solution...What do you recommand?

Definitely not JNI, you don't want to go there unless you have to.

For simple stuff (and even clever stuff - see Thomas' postings), Perl (Win32::OLE) is tops - and I'm a seasoned Java type !

But go over to SourceForge and have a look at JCOM - let us know what you find !
