Is there any COM library for Java that works well?

Question

I am rewriting a script that uses COM to automate a Windows application, and I would like to rewrite it in Java. The thing is, COM libraries seem a bit outdated, and I don't want to waste time on code that doesn't work. Is there anything you tried and worked?

Have you watched JACOB ? Last updated June 8, 2009

JACOB is a JAVA-COM bridge that allows you to invoke Java Automation COM components. It uses JNI to create its own calls to COM libraries. JACOB runs on x86 and x64 environments supporting 32-bit and 64-bit JVMs
