Re: [Ikvm-developers] Using ikvm.lang.CIL

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

Hi Michael,

In the ikvmbin.zip distributions there is a lib/ikvm-api.jar file that contains the stubs for the ikvm utility classes. If you build from source, it is created in the lib directory.

(This jar is produced by running ikvmstub on IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll. The not supported warning is me being cautious, it does actually work.)

Regards,
Jeroen
