Scriptom provides a simple yet powerful COM library for Groovy. It is implemented as a thin layer around [JACOB (Java COM Bridge)](https://sourceforge.net/projects/jacob-project/). JACOB is a mature open-source library for Java that supports communicating with COM libraries and automation servers on Microsoft Windows.

Scriptom attempts to mirror all the functionality of JACOB, but in a "groovy" way. Here is a quick example that uses Scripting.FileSystemObject to list the paths to all active rooted drives on your system (italics show COM methods and properties):

  new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject').Drives.findAll{it.IsReady}.each{println it.Path}       `

Visual Basic was never this easy!

Supported Variant Types and Translation Notes

Variant-Type	Supported?	Java	VB6/VBA	Comments
Empty	Yes	`null`	`Variant.Empty`
Null	Yes	`VariantNull`	`Variant.Null`	Don’t be confused. `Variant.Null` is not the same as `null`. This is by design.
Short	Yes	`Short`	`Integer`	An `Integer` in VB6 represents a 16-bit signed value.
Int	Yes	`Integer`	`Long`	A `Long` in VB6 represents a 32-bit signed value.
Long	Yes	`Long/BigInteger`		A 64-bit signed value. Supported by .NET. `BigInteger` supports arbitrary-precision integers, so there may be errors associated with converting a `BigInteger` to a 64-bit integer.
