Embed SWT Composite into Windows C# application [message #1626271]

I've got a Java application that uses SWT as its widget toolkit.
I've also got a Windows C# application.
I'd like a way to draw an SWT Composite into this C# application.

I can think of two ways to do this:

Handles Since SWT is based on the native windowing toolkit, it seems like there should be a way to create a Composite in the C# application, pass the native pointer to the Java application, and then control the Composite from there.
OLE Since SWT can definitely consume OLE components, maybe there's also a way for it to present itself as an OLE component?

Anybody have any tips on how I can accomplish this? I'm not afraid of complicated communication between the Java and C# on startup, but I'm really hoping to be able to control the Composite from Java seamlessly once it is set up.

In case somebody else bumps into this, I got a great answer (and even a sample GitHub repo) on StackOverflow.

I don't have link-posting permissions, but the URL is:
