[Ikvm-developers] Problems using ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler in IKVM converted Assembly

[spama <mar...@si...>]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my application that uses the java compiler to compile
java source files to class files.

I try to describe the problem in detail:

I have a java module (modul_a.jar). Inside this module i'm using the java
compiler: 

JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
... do some stuff ...

The JavaCompiler is returned and everything works perfect.

I convert this module to modul_a.dll using the ikvmc. When i run my modul
everything works fine but the 
call to ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler(); returns <null>.

I've tried many things to fix the problem, but couldn't get it working. 

I searched the whole web for a solution of our problems and so far found the
following informations, that unfortunatly didn't help me to solve the
problem:

To narrow it down i wrote a small test application:

import javax.tools.JavaCompiler;
import javax.tools.ToolProvider;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JavaCompiler c = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
        if(c == null)
        {
            System.out.println("Java compiler not found!");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("Java compiler found!!! Hooraaay!!!");
        }
    }
}

for java the output is "Java compiler found!!! Hooraaay!!!" , for .NET it is
"Java compiler not found!".

I converted to ikvm using the following ikvmc calls:
- ikvmc.exe -out:javatest.exe -target:exe -sharedclassloader
JavaTestModule.jar
- ikvmc.exe -out:javatest.exe -target:exe -sharedclassloader
-classloader:ikvm.runtime.ClassPathAssemblyClassLoader JavaTestModule.jar
-ikvmc.exe -out:javatest.exe -target:exe
-classloader:ikvm.runtime.ClassPathAssemblyClassLoader JavaTestModule.jar
 
alsways the same result -> "Java compiler not found!".

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Martin
