Maven-com4j-plugin

maven-com4j-plugin

The plugin allows you to invoke tlbimp from Maven, so you can use Maven to build Java modules to interface with COM type library.

The main enhancement over the original plugin from Jason Thrasher is the possibility to address multiple dependent typelibs at a time. This enhancement was done by Sergey Miryanov. In this particular fork, the code is enhanced to correctly support maven plugin conventions and to aim for Maven Central deployment. See below for kudos and additional references.
