Java within C#

[Beasts]

hello...
i have come across something unusual recently.
I am trying to embed a .jar Java executable within my c# application.
the .jar file will be visible as a normal executable within the c# app.
You know, sort of like an emulator?

Is this possible and how do i do that?
I am really desperate.

oh there is a problem...
i have to buy JNB?
oh...
i suppose there is no other way...
but there is this tiny problem now...
if i supposedly buy JNB and make my application then distribute it wouldnt everyone have to buy JNB as well?

I highly doubt end users would have to buy it. It normally is a license bought by you for use in your application.

I'm not sure you'd have to buy it for this type of scenario.

But in the end, they are essentially doing a lot of C++ handle and event notifications between two processes. Something not for the faint of heart. And most worth the cost of purchase if necessary.

I would contact them and ask what the cost would be, you may find its below $200. Either way, at $1000 its a bargain considering re-developing a Java app in .NET would cost at least 10x that much at developer wages.

There's a 30-day free trial, so you can figure out if it would definitely work for you.

Here's a good article on their product and how to implement it:
