Overview
Idea
IKVM makes it possible to execute Java bytecode with the .NET or Mono. It can convert and execute Java bytecode on the fly. IKVM consists of these components:
- a Java virtual machine implemented in .NET
- a .NET implementation of the Java class libraries
- interoperability tools for the Java / .NET
IKVM supports Java 1.6 without Swing and AWT.
The framework is developed by Jeroen Frijters. The name "IKVM" is a play of words: The first letter of "JVM" is replaced by surrounding letters "I" and "K".
