Convert Java class to DLL

Question

I need to use Java code in .NET (C#) and am looking for a way to convert a Java class to a DLL file (which I can then reference in my .NET app). Is this a valid scenario? If yes, How can I do it?

You could also look at the Java Native Interface (JNI) to allow your .NET code to call your Java code and vice-versa. — RB., Feb 28 '13 at 12:04

You can use IKVM.NET to use Java classes and libraries from .NET.

Basically that is not a good idea. Since java emphasizes on platform independence, but dll is platform dependent. So, think about pack into a jar file, execute and consume it somehow
