Does anyone know (or know someone who knows) how Mail.app
communicates with
AddressBook to display the picture of the sender in the mail

Is there anyway one can do the same from a Java application?
Searching ADC:
<http://developer.apple.com/search/search.html>
with these keywords:
address book api
shows this likely candidate:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/
Conceptual/AddressBook/index.html>
Further confirmation can be obtained with this command:
otool -L /Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/MacOS/*
which shows AddressBook.framework as one of the referenced frameworks.
I.e. what do I have to do to my Semantic Web AddressBook so that
it can
communicate with Mail? Is there anything I need to do to get the same
integration with iChat and other apps?
I think the answer will be something like "replace the AddressBook
framework", which seems like a large amount of work, assuming it's
even
possible.
Maybe you can make the semantic book a service in the Services menu.
Here's an example that lets any shell script become a service.
Might be
adaptable to Java:
