a question just for the sake of asking

I realize that there may be no practical value in this, but is it possible to compile a java program as a dll file, and then run it in VC++??

The point of this is, for the moment, to avoid rewriting a level designer that i am building in java, to C++ as that is a lot of work. Eventually I will probably port my code.

But just for curiosities sake, is it possible?

I think visual studio does support Java. It is part of Visual Interdev. I've had it for the last 7 years but I've never used that part of Visual Studio Enterprise (neither have I used Visual Basic, Foxpro or source safe but the package was going cheap and all I wanted was C++).

It is part of Visual Interdev.

But does that compile Java code into machine code or just Java byte-code?

I've never heard of a native compiler for Java, but then again, I haven't spent much time looking for one either.

There is a jar-to-exe program, but I don't have a link.
