Are there some open source CAD libraries in Java?

Question

I need a CAD modeling library. I've found such libraries, for example OPEN CASCADE, but they are not written in Java.To use those libraries I need a long time to learn a new programming language.

Now that I'm familiar with Java. Is there anyone who knows some open source CAD modeling libraries in Java?

Have you searched the Web for what you need? There seem to be many options... why are they not good enough? — dokaspar, Sep 17 '12 at 07:52
I've searched the Web, and found that commonly used CAD libraries are hardly written in Java. So i ask which java library I can rely on. — bitcold, Sep 17 '12 at 08:21

Ycad is a library of CAD functions in Java. Currently only DXF is supported for reading, viewing and writing. The DXF drawing may be rendered to a Graphics object for printing or imaging. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ycad/

Maybe this helps.

May be this http://jcae.sourceforge.net/architecture.html could give you more info on how to achieve similar goals. If you have strong bias for java, it would try to use a "JNA" with OPEN CASCADE.
