 | | IKVM isn’t a “bridge” tool, like other interop technologies—instead, IKVM takes a different path entirely, doing bytecode translation, transforming Java bytecode into CIL instructions, and feeding them through the traditional CLR as such. |
 | | IKVM comes in two basic flavors—a runtime component that’s used to load and execute Java classes from.class binaries, and a precompiler/translator tool, ikvmc, that can be used to translator (or cross-compile, if you will) Java binaries into.NET assemblies. |
 | | Using IKVM to load arbitrary Java code and execute it via Java Reflection turns out to be fairly easy to do; so easy, in fact, that you can use it from Visual Basic code. |
