python with Java API

[Brendan J Simon]

Hi,

I have a Java application from a company.  They also provide an API in
C++ (MSW platforms only) and Java (for all platforms) for developers
that want to create their own front end.  I want to use wxPython to
create a decent Unix opensource frontend.

Is it possible to Interface python to a java application easily ???

Assuming yes to above, would something like Jython or SWIG or some other
tool be required.

Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Brendan Simon.
