The effort to create a Java CVS module is minimal. The effort to start
coding the Java module is significant, and please read below about SWIG. We
need interested developers. Anyone want to join Rod?

QuantLib is already available as a Python and Ruby modules by means of SWIG
(http.//swig.org), as Luigi pointed out.
SWIG supports Java, Tcl, Perl5, Guile, and MZScheme besides Ruby and
Python, so this approach may easily help porting QuantLib to these
languages. Initial MZScheme and Guile modules are available in the QuantLib
CVS under QuantLib-SWIG. We welcome any contribution aimed at exporting the
library towards other programming languages; however, the use of SWIG is to
be preferred to hand-made approaches since it leads to more maintainable code.
If anyone familiar with SWIG wants to tackle Perl and/or Java, please let
us know

Yeah, please see

You're welcome. Please take a look at QuantLib and see how your code would
fit. I'm pretty sure we would be all interested, and Sad might have some
special interest ;-)
