Hello, I have just uploaded ikvm to incoming. ikvm is an implementation of a Java virtual machine for .net and runs under Mono. It can act as a replacement for /usr/bin/java with one exception: it cannot handle classes/jars that link in native code.
Here's an example. Jython can use libreadline-java, which in turn has some native code. If I disable libreadline-java, Jython works fine with ikvm. If it's enabled, it breaks. Here's the question: should ikvm provide java-virtual-machine or not? Thanks, John
