Integrating Java and Microsoft .NET
Java/.NET Integration: The architecture of .NET ® Java platforms use different executable formatted Common Runtime Language syntax, which makes it challenging to build applications that need to integrate existing compiled Java class files into a .NET solution.

The right techniques and practices are key to interoperability of components written in different languages.

When building an application, it is increasingly likely that you and your team will have to combine components and/or source code written in different programming languages. It is not uncommon for programmers to spend significant periods of time getting modules written in different languages to interoperate properly. This is one of the key challenges addressed by Microsoft .NET.

It is rarely cost-effective or feasible to manually port or rewrite code from one language into another. Java is a popular language for building applications for Unix, while Microsoft has developed .NET and the Common Language Runtime (CLR) for building cross-language applications under Windows. Java and the CLR use different executable formats, which makes it challenging to build applications that need to integrate existing compiled Java class files into a .NET solution.
