IKVM is an implementation of Java for the .NET platform, providing a JVM implemented in .NET along with a bytecode-to-IL converter. It lets you run compiled Java code on .NET Framework/.NET Core or convert Java bytecode (JARs) into .NET assemblies without porting source code.

Use cases

  • run java applications on .net
  • convert java jar files to .net dll assemblies
  • use java libraries from c# projects
  • execute java bytecode on .net core without a jvm
  • embed a java runtime in a .net application
  • interoperate between java and .net code

When to choose

  • you need to reuse existing Java libraries in a .NET project without rewriting them
  • you want to deploy Java applications on machines where only .NET is available
  • you need Java SE 8 runtime functionality on .NET Framework 4.7.2+ or .NET 6+

When to avoid

  • you need to convert Java source code to C# source code
  • you need to run .NET code inside a Java environment
  • you require Java features beyond Java SE 8
  • you need a full modern JVM with the latest Java language features
