title: How to expose Java through COM/native DLL?
body: <p>I want to develop a Java-Application that <strong>exposes</strong> it's functionality through COM, as a legacy VB application needs to communicate with it.</p>
  
  <p>There are several libraries that can <strong>consume</strong> COM components; but do some of them at the same time support <strong>exposing</strong> COM?</p>
  
  <p>I also thought of creating a proxy written in C#, which then communicates with the Java-App through protobuf.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
