control microsoft powerpoint (running slideshows, etc.) using java

I working in java currently and I want to control a microsoft powerpoint slideshow (moving back and forth in a slideshow, starting and exiting a slideshow etc.) using java code. Is there any AP开发者_StackOverflow社区I (or any other way) for doing that?

Thanks in advance.

This link (one of the first when googling "java powerpoint api") looks promising: http://j-integra.intrinsyc.com/support/com/doc/other_examples/Powerpoint_from_Java.htm

As long as you can comply with the LGPL, JACOB looks like just what you need. JACOB is a Java-COM bridge, which allows you to interface with Windows programs.
