Intermediate Language Translator for Execution of Java Programs in .NET Platform

This paper presents the java bytecode-to-.NET MSIL intermediate language translator which enables the execution of the java program in .NET environments without JVM(java Virtual Machine), translating bytecodes produced by compiling java programs into MSIL codes. Java, one of the most widely used programming languages recently, is the language invented by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems, which is the next generation language independent of operating systems and hardware platforms. Java source code is compiled into bytecode as intermediate code independent of each platform by compiler, and also executed by JVM. .NET language such as C# and .NET platform in Microsoft Corp. has been developed to meet the needs of programmers, and cope with Java and JVM platform of Sun Microsystems. After compiling, a program written in .NET language is converted to MSIL code, and also executed by .NET platform but not in JVM platform. For this reason, we designed and implemented the java bytecode-to-.NET MSIL translator system for programs written in java language to be executed in the. NET platform without JVM. This work improves the execution speed of programs, enhances the productivity, and provides a environment for programmers to develop application programs without limitations of programming languages.
