Después de pasar algo de tiempo con Ayuda Ayuda, parece que bbcomm se inicia cuando usa el Excel API o ejecuta la demostración de la API. Pero no se inicia automáticamente cuando se llama desde la API de Java. Las posibles formas de iniciar la misma son:
- añadiendo una entrada en el registro para iniciarse automáticamente bbcomm en el arranque: en
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
añadir un valor de cadena llamado bbcomm
con valor C:\blp\API\bbcomm.exe
- pero que abre una ventana de comandos, que permanece visible, por lo que no realmente una opción (y si se cierra esa ventana se termina el proceso bbcomm)
- crear un archivo por lotes
START /MIN C:\blp\API\bbcomm.exe
y sustituir la entrada en el registro con el que (no probado) para llamar bbcomm silencio
- manualmente lanzar bbcomm de su java código como ya se sugirió. Como referencia, publico debajo del código que estoy usando.

Lo he intentado y funciona. –
