Re: [Ikvm-developers] Converting JavaBeans into .Net classes

[Valdemar M. <val...@la...>]

Hi,

Can you explan what I and V in sig="I", sig="()I" and sig="(I)V" means 
(from the map.xml file)? Will this be the same for properties of all types?

I'm working on a tool to generate a map.xml file from a jar btw, that's 
why I'm wondering.

Regards,
Valdemar
