JActiveX Command-Line Tool

The JActiveX command-line application is a component of Visual J++ 6.0. It reads the type library of a Microsoft® ActiveX® control and generates the corresponding Java source files. You can then compile these source files and import them into your Java application.

To generate Java source files for a COM object

•    From the command prompt, run

jactivex filename

where filename is the name of the file that contains the type library. This file may have any of the following file name extensions: .tlb, .olb, .ocx, .dll, or .exe.

For more information about the optional parameters you can set in JActiveX, see the Visual J++ documentation, or type the following command line:

jactivex /?

Note  Do not use Visual J++ compilers prior to version 1.02.3920 to compile the files generated by JActiveX.exe. This is because the generated source files must be compiled with a @com-aware compiler. Only Visual J++ compilers later than version 1.02.3920 are @com-aware.
