COM: COM stands for Component Object Model. Microsoft's interface specification for hooks into Java for interprogram communication. COM also covers how pluggable component applications fit together. COM started out as DDE on the Win 3.1 platform. Then it changed its name to OLE, then again to ActiveX, and yet again to COM. COM is a generic term that also covers the earlier DDE, OLE and ActiveX.
