IKVM - Java Virtual Machine for .NET
What is IKVM?
IKVM is an implementation of Java for the Microsoft .NET platform. It can be used to quickly and easily:
- Execute compiled Java code (bytecode) on .NET Framework or .NET Core
- Convert bytecode to a .NET assembly to directly access its API in a .NET project
These tasks can be done without porting source code to .NET.
IKVM Components
- A Java virtual machine (JVM) implemented in .NET
- A .NET implementation of the Java class libraries
- A tool that translates Java bytecode (JAR files) to .NET IL (DLL or EXE files).
- Tools that enable Java and .NET interoperability
Run Java Applications with .NET
- Statically: By compiling a Java application into a .NET assembly using
<MavenReference>
,<IkvmReference>
orikvmc
.- Libary assemblies can be referenced by any .NET application with a compatible target framework and platform. Types can be referenced by using the Java package name like a .NET namespace.
- Executable assemblies can be launched by specifying the class containing the
main()
method to execute at runtime when building usingikvmc
.
- Dynamically: By running a Java application using the
ikvm
tool, which can be used as a direct replacement forjava.exe
. The Java bytecode is converted on-the-fly to CIL and executed.
What IKVM is Not
- A converter utility to transform Java source code to C# source code
- A decompiler utitity to transform compiled Java bytecode to C# source code
- A tool that runs .NET code in Java - all IKVM conversions are Java > .NET
Support
- .NET Framework 4.6.1 and higher
- .NET Core 3.1 and higher
- .NET 5 and higher
- Java SE 8
Documentation
See the tutorial to get started or IKVM.NET In Details for a more in-depth look.
Installation
NuGet
PM> Install-Package IKVM
Or, to use MavenReference
:
PM> Install-Package IKVM.Maven.Sdk
Tools
The tools are available for download on the Releases page.
Usage
IKVM supports integration with .NET SDK projects as well as low level tools for running compiled Java code directly or for advanced build scenarios. The 2 main entry points for integration with the .NET SDK are IkvmReference
and MavenReference
. .NET SDK projects can be built on the command line directly or using an IDE that supports them, such as recent versions Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider.
IkvmReference
IKVM includes build-time support for translating Java libraries to .NET assemblies. Install the IKVM
package in a project that requires references to Java libraries. Use IkvmReference
within an ItemGroup
to indicate which Java libraries your project requires.
Example
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="IKVM" Version="8.2.0" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<IkvmReference Include="..\..\ext\helloworld-2.0.jar" />
</ItemGroup>
The output assembly will be generated as part of your project's build process and a reference will automatically be added to your project so you can call APIs of the compiled .jar
assembly. Additional metadata can be added to IkvmReference
to customize the assembly that is generated.
Syntax
<ItemGroup>
<IkvmReference Include="..\..\ext\helloworld-2.0.jar">
<AssemblyName>MyAssembly</AssemblyName>
<AssemblyVersion>3.2.1.0</AssemblyVersion>
<AssemblyFileVersion>3.0.0.0</AssemblyFileVersion>
<DisableAutoAssemblyName>true</DisableAutoAssemblyName>
<DisableAutoAssemblyVersion>true</DisableAutoAssemblyVersion>
<FallbackAssemblyName>MyAssemblyFallback</FallbackAssemblyName>
<FallbackAssemblyVersion>3.1.0.0</FallbackAssemblyVersion>
<KeyFile>MyKey.snk</KeyFile>
<DelaySign>true</DelaySign>
<Compile>SomeInternalDependency.jar;SomeOtherInternalDependency.jar</Compile>
<Sources>MyClass.java;YourClass.java</Sources>
<References>SomeExternalDependency.jar;SomeOtherExternalDependency.jar</References>
<Aliases>MyAssemblyAlias;helloworld2_0</Aliases>
<Debug>true</Debug>
</IkvmReference>
</ItemGroup>
Attributes and Elements
The following values can be used as either an attribute or a nested element of <IkvmReference>
.
Attribute or Element | Description |
---|---|
Include (attribute only) |
The identity of the IkvmReference item. The value can be one of: <ul><li>path to a JAR file</li><li>path to a directory</li><li>an otherwise unimportant name</li></ul> |
AssemblyName |
By default the AssemblyName is generated using the rules defined by the Automatic-Module-Name specification. To override this, do so here. The value should not include a file extension, .dll will be appended automatically. |
AssemblyVersion |
By default the AssemblyVersion is generated using the rules defined by the Automatic-Module-Name specification. To override this, do so here. |
AssemblyFileVersion |
By default the AssemblyFileVersion is generated using the rules defined by the Automatic-Module-Name specification or, if overridden, the same value as AssemblyVersion . To override this, do so here. |
DisableAutoAssemblyName |
If true disables detection of AssemblyName . |
DisableAutoAssemblyVersion |
If true disables detection of AssemblyVersion . |
FallbackAssemblyName |
If AssemblyName is not provided or cannot be calculated, use this value. |
FallbackAssemblyVersion |
If AssemblyVersion is not provided or cannot be calculated, use this value. |
KeyFile |
Specifies the filename containing the cryptographic key. When this option is used, the compiler inserts the public key from the specified file into the assembly manifest and then signs the final assembly with the private key. |
DelaySign |
This option causes the compiler to reserve space in the output file so that a digital signature can be added later. Use DelaySign if you only want to place the public key in the assembly. The DelaySign option has no effect unless used with KeyFile . |
Compile |
A semi-colon separated list of Java class path items to compile into the assembly. By default this value is the Identity of the item, if the identity of the item is an existing JAR file or directory (not yet supported). MSBuild globs are supported to reference multiple JAR or .class files. |
Sources |
A semi-colon separated list of Java source files to use during documentation generation. (not yet supported) |
References |
Optional semi-colon separated list of other IkvmReference identity values to specify as a reference to the current one. For example, if foo.jar depends on bar.jar , include both as IkvmReference items, but specify the identity of bar.jar on the References metadata of foo.jar . |
Debug |
Optional boolean indicating whether to generate debug symbols. By default this is determined based on the <DebugType> and <DebugSymbols> properties of the project. Only full debug symbols are currently supported. |
Aliases |
A semi-colon separated list of aliases that can be used to reference the assembly in References . |
All other metadata supported on the Reference MSBuild item group definition. |
IkvmReference
is not transitive. Including it in one project and adding a dependency to that project from a second
project will not result in the same reference being available on the second project. Instead, add the reference to
each project.
For each project to resolve to the same resulting assembly ensure their settings are identical.
Multiple IkvmReference
entries can be configured to include each other as references.
<ItemGroup>
<IkvmReference Include="helloworld.jar">
<AssemblyVersion>1.0.0.0</AssemblyVersion>
</IkvmReference>
<IkvmReference Include="helloworld-2.jar">
<AssemblyName>helloworld-2</AssemblyName>
<AssemblyVersion>2.0.0.0</AssemblyVersion>
<References>helloworld.jar</References>
<Aliases>helloworld2</Aliases>
</IkvmReference>
</ItemGroup>
Automatic-Module-Name
Specification
The Automatic-Module-Name
is either a specified attribute of the JAR manifest, which can be found in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
file inside the JAR, or a generated value based on the name of the JAR file. See the documentation for more information.
MavenReference
See the ikvm-maven Readme for usage instructions.

TikaOnDotNet
Bare-bones IKVM Java-to-.NET port of Apache Tika. You'll want to install TikaOnDotNet.TextExtractor. |
|
Stanford.NLP.CoreNLP
Stanford CoreNLP provides a set of natural language analysis tools which can take raw English language text input and give the base forms of words, their parts of speech, whether they are names of companies, people, etc., normalize dates, times, and numeric quantities, and mark up the structure of sentences in terms of phrases and word dependencies, and indicate which noun phrases refer to the same entities. Stanford CoreNLP is an integrated framework, which make it very easy to apply a bunch of language analysis tools to a piece of text. Starting from plain text, you can run all the tools on it with just two lines of code. Its analyses provide the foundational building blocks for higher-level and domain-specific text understanding applications. |
|
CuratorIkvm
Curator client library & recipes for Zookeeper. This is the IKVM version; which is to say that this is compiled from Java to .NET |
|
OpenNLP.NET
The Apache OpenNLP library is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text. It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution. These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing services. OpenNLP also included maximum entropy and perceptron based machine learning. |
|
Stanford.NLP.NER
Stanford NER (also known as CRFClassifier) is a Java implementation of a Named Entity Recognizer. Named Entity Recognition (NER) labels sequences of words in a text which are the names of things, such as person and company names, or gene and protein names. The software provides a general (arbitrary order) implementation of linear chain Conditional Random Field (CRF) sequence models, coupled with well-engineered feature extractors for Named Entity Recognition. |
