ikvm

I've converted a java library succesfully with ikvmc. Java library uses some resources inside its self jar file. I can reach all classes of this java library, but if I call a method that calls this.getClass().getResource(), it doens't search these resources in the assembly or the jar file in the assembly. But if I put these resources to same folder with the assembly, it can find the resources. But it doesn't work well everytime. For instance, it can't find the resources if I referenced the assembly in a website project(mvc). I tried to put these resources to bin folder, root folder, the view's

I am trying to call a dll file from c# The dll file is made from a java application using ikvm and for now all the code does is print hello world. How do i call the dll file in my c# code and is it possible to create an application in java that will return a boolean value to my c# code? Thanks for your time. I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do, so apologies if I'm misreading. IKVM should translate your java code to a .NET dll or executable. After the "translation" you should be able to use the .dll more or less in the same way as you would with a "native" .NET code. If your java

I've downloaded the IKVM sources ( http://www.ikvm.net/ ) from http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=69637 Now I'm trying to get it to build in Visual Studio 2008 and am stuck. Does anyone know of documentation of how to build the thing, or could even give me pointers? I've tried opening the ikvm8.sln, which opens all the projects, but trying to build the solution leads to a bunch of "type or namespace could not be found" errors. As you can probably guess I'm no Visual Studio expert, but rather am used to working with Java in Eclipse. So again, I'm looking for either: step-by-step instructions

In this article Jeroen explains an example of using an XML file to remap Java Bean getters and setters to .NET Properties. What would the XML file look like if I wanted to, say, remap a Java method called showDialog() to ShowDialog() in .NET? Has anyone worked with the remapping option before? Any idea where to get information on how it works other than inspecting the remapper.cs source code? Edit #1 - Found something that definitely helps a bit: the map.xml file in the OpenJDK folder seems to have the same format. Edit #2 Ouch. 7 views in 16 hours. :-) I have officially reached the fringes of

IKVM is an amazing beast that lets me execute Java jars in a .NET environment. That is, it's a JVM written on the .NET runtime (CLR). Does the opposite exist? Has someone written a CLR on top of a JVM? With suitable translation and base class library implementation, we might find .NET code executes more quickly in an aggressive JIT compiler, like HotSpot, than in the CLR JIT. The most Java programs run with IKVM (32 bit) a little faster as with Java SE. My test show 5-10% faster. That I think that MSIL code would be run slower with a HotSpot JIT. The next problem is that MSIL has many more

I'm trying to convert Apache poi .jar to .dll . I used the script below to convert. However I'm getting lot of warnings and error Invalid option -resource:poi-3.8-20120326.dll after that. Here's the script i used. ikvmc -target:library poi-ooxml-schemas-3.8-20120326.jar ikvmc -target:library poi-3.8-20120326.jar ikvmc -target:library -resource:poi-3.8-20120326.dll poi-scratchpad-3.8-20120326.jar ikvmc -target:library -resource:poi-3.8-20120326.dll poi-ooxml-schemas-3.8-20120326.dll poi-scratchpad-3.8-20120326.dll poi-ooxml-3.8-20120326.jar ikvmc -target:library -resource:poi-3.8-20120326.dll

I would like to build the latest version of PDFBox ( http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/dot_net.html ) for use within my .NET project. I have no experience with Java whatsoever but I am using the steps defined here: http://www.ikvm.net/userguide/tutorial.html I am using the following versions: - IKVM (0.42.0.6) - PDFBox (1.2.1) JAR file The problem is that when I try to create the DLL a series of error messages are displayed - i.e. "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError". I am facing the same problem as the author here ( How to use PDFBox 1.0 in .net / C# environment using IKVM ) and tried the fix
