How can I use .Net assembly in Java

Question

I want to use the Microsoft.Net assembly in a Java application. Is there any way to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Java and .Net use fundamentally different systems: JVM and CLR, respectively. It is not possible to directly load one into another and use it. These are incompatible formats.

Possibly, although the .NET and Java components interact across the bridge. There are several options that provide this behavior.

Note. Most of these solutions, however, are aimed at sharing clearly defined components, and not directly with loading libraries. This may or may not work for you.
