Do you want to pass objects or borrow functions from bioperl? This is 
too computer issue. A year ago, ensembl tried to solve the similar 
problem to top up ensembl-java usage and popularity, with no sounding 
result. I was working on it.

Actually we do not need to solve the problem on bioperl level.  
Methologically, you can pass the objects in file way, and compose a 
(perl/bash) script to assembly up the process written in bioperl and 
java. Or simple use bash's pipe

cmd1 | cmd2
Pipe; use output from cmd1 as input to cmd2.

Hope this tip help.
