I'm not sure what your definition of "easy way" is.. Most of F::Q is a
bunch of screen scrapers. So doing it in perl v java is just a matter
of language.

No, I mean re-implement the gnucash<->F::Q interfaces. For example, you
would need to replace gnc-fq-helper with a wrapper around your java
application and have the input/output work "the same" so gnucash
*thinks* it's still talking to F::Q.
