Running Java on .NET

[Yohan Liyanage]

Hi guys,

I would like to know if there's a possibility to run a Java program (say, a .jar file or a .class file) on top of .NET Framework (say, using a C# application), just as if it's a .NET Assembly.

I came across IKVM, which says what it allows to run Java on .NET and vice versa, I'm not sure whether it solves my problem.

Thanks in advance.

If you are looking for enterprise solution, I think mainsoft company do java->.Net interop.

Thanks Sharon. But I am working on an educational project. Not an enterprise solution.

Have you considered creating a c or c++ app to bridge c# and java? You could link this to java via the JNI and to net via dllimport.
