Simon, The commercial solver was Comsol 4.4. I suppose it is implemented in C or C++. Some of the user interface is probably in Java.
I will certainly consider your suggestion about the types. Frankly, I didn't know better how to provide both type stability and flexibility. Hopefully I will learn as I go. If you have a concrete way of managing that in mind, do let me know (or implement it ;).
