Java interface to exiftool?

I have a few homemade tools written in Java and I'd like to make use of exiftool to work with image data in those tools.  Is there a simple way to call exiftool functions from Java?  Currently I execute exiftool.exe as a separate process and capture the output to see if there were errors, but that's a bit awkward.  Ideally I could do things like query some fields from an image, manipulate them, then write new data back out.

Sorry, but other than shelling out to execute perl or exiftool.exe, I don't know to do this.

no problem - it was worth a shot to ask :-)
