J# - Convert Jar to DLL

Hello,

For the last week I have been unsuccessfly attempting to convert a jar file to a dll.  I have been trying to reference all the neccessary files but have not been able to get everything right.

I am trying to convert pdkjava.jar (Oracle Portlet Development Kit) using JbImp and IKVM.  Both I actually have to revert to finding all the associated jar files - convert them, then reference them as dlls, etc...  I am finding with a few there are some ciruclar dependencies that do not allow me to convert one without the other and vice versa making it impossble to convert.  The only answer - as far as I can find is to make one giant JAR file with every piece in... which I really don't want to do.

I was wondering if anyone had any insight on this - or any expert advise

 

Thanks,


Jamey

    Hi Jamey

    In case of circular dependencies, did you try giving all the files containing the dependant classes, in the same call to jbimp

    for eg : try "jbimp Test1.class Test2.class" , if Test1 and Test2 have a cyclic dependency..

    Please let me know if your scenario has a different issue, other than what i had mentioned above..

    Thanks
