Hosting ActiveX controls on a Java AWT Frame?

Is there a way to display a Flash or Adobe Reader ActiveX control in a Java AWT frame?

I'm porting a large old J++ application to standard Java and it needs to host a certain ActiveX control on an AWT frame.

Is this possible?

I looked at the JACOB (Java to COM Bridge) project and it doesn't appear to support ActiveX objects that draw on the screen.

It looks like this can be done by mixing AWT and SWT. \n\nThe Eclipse project has a sample snippet that embeds Microsoft Word into an AWT/SWT mixed app.",
