Hi Karl,
I think that that a Java CFX might be an interesting way to go, but, unless
you need platform independence, I would probably go for C++. I'll bet that
you can find algorithms and probably some raw code online. You might try
some of the component companies as well.
If all else fails, you could probably get min to write it for you.
