Using IKVM

[Rob Koch]

I was faced with a task of building a Windows application (.NET, what
else?) and hooking up with a Java-based server that uses SSLSockets
and Anonymous Ciphers (DH)...

.NET doesn't have a library that can handle what I needed believe it
or not... need my SSLSockets!  Found a 3rd party that does SSLSockets
via COM, but still no Anonymous Ciphers.  I was avery frustrated at
that point and was about to give in and do the whole thing in Java.

Lo and behold, IKVM... writing Java in .NET?  This I gotta see...
*writing code*  Bam! It works!!

IKVM was a life saver for me!  Thanks to you Jeroen F. and those who
contributed to the project!

Two questions...

1. your docs says GNU.Classpath... but we got OpenJDK... and
2. I'm seeing a couple of throws in Mono's MoMA.  Isn't IKVM 100%
complaint with Mono 1.9 yet?

Regards,

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Yeah, the docs are unfortunately a bit out of date. Contributions are most welcome :-)

There is some Windows/.NET specific code in a few places in IKVM (and some Mono specific code as well), but the right codepath will be executed based on the current platform, so that shouldn't be a problem.

That's what I thought re: docs -- Thanks Jeroen!  How may I contribute
anyway?  Granted, I am not around Java programs so am not sure how I
can be of help after my project is done. :-(
