Re: [Ikvm-developers] Castor and classloading

[Jeroen F. <je...@su...>]

Hi David,

There are several possible solutions:

1) Compile the 3rd party code into the same assembly as the Castor code.

2) Use the ikvmc option -classloader:ikvm.runtime.AppDomainAssemblyClassLoader when compiling Castor.

3) Use IKVM 0.40.0.1 and compile the 3rd party code together with Castor into seperate assemblies:

ikvmc -sharedclassloader { castor.jar } { 3rdparty.jar }

Regards,
Jeroen
