Other early implementations

This is a list of previous attempts intended to port QuantLib to Java or at least provide means of calling QuantLib from Java programs:
* In Aug/2004 a project called [http://jquantlib.cvs.sourceforge.net/jquantlib/jquantlib/src/org/jquantlib/ java-quantlib] attempted to create a port from QuantLib. The project is abandoned: it has only 11 classes with only a couple of edits.
* In Sep/2004 a project called [http://quantlib4j.cvs.sourceforge.net/quantlib4j/ QuanLib4J] was started but no files were committed to their repository.
* Still in Sep/2004 a project called [http://sourceforge.net/projects/cppintegrplugin/ sKWash] was started. The project was active until Jun/2005 and produced Java Native Interface wrappers to QuantLib using a tool called [http://www.swig.org SWIG] . The project released files in May/2005. It's not clear if the resulting work from this project was absorved by QuantLib and became the SWIG wrappers QuantLib has.
