You cannot "run WPF application in Java" if by Java you mean Java machine. If you want to develop .NET applications using Java, it's possible.

One implementation of Java for .NET is IKVM.NET, see http://www.ikvm.net/[^].

Another product is Ja.NET, see http://www.janetdev.org/[^].

Also, Microsoft use to bundle Visual Studio (2005) with J# — a .NET language with Java syntax, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vjsharp/bb188593[^]. I don't know what is the status of this product right now; please find out yourself if you're interested.

Look at the list of CLI languages here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_languages[^].

Yes I knew there were a few plugins that did this - but those are not very easy to use.
J# is now deprecated. :)

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 17-Jul-11 13:04pm

Thank you, Anhinav. I would not call the language implementations "plug-ins" though.

Correct, my 5 - but you can run java in .Net using http://www.ikvm.net/

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 17-Jul-11 13:03pm

Thank you, Espen.
Yes, "Java in .NET", not "run WPF application in Java".

It's an option - obviously it works quite well with mono, but then mono doesn't support WPF so...

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 17-Jul-11 14:04pm

I'm so sorry Mono does not support WPF. I think this is only because WPF is very big, and DirectX-based graphic was never introduced to Mono before. Adding it would be very well in spirit of Mono. WPF itself is actually a very good step away from Windows; it has almost nothing to do with raw Windows API.

Not sure how hard WPF would actually be to implement for an open source project like mono, but movements in that direction kind of stopped when Novell and MS got very friendly a while back ...

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 17-Jul-11 22:54pm

Really? How do you know this fact is related to stopping moving toward WPF? Would be sad.

Well, whatever the relationship is between Novell and Microsoft, Attachmate (who bought Novell) canned the Mono development team. The team have now set up as a company called Xamarin (http://xamarin.com/).

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 18-Jul-11 23:54pm

Wow! Thank you for information. I did not know yet! May be this is for better, we will see. At least this is open source.

Solution 1

Why do you want to use JAVA? that's .Net stuff.

Use .net to present it - should be a monkey's job to do that!

I agree with you, but it's not clear what OP exactly mean. In particular, .NET development is Java is possible -- please see my solution.

Solution 2

No there is no way to run .Net applications in Java.
Both run on different runtime engines.

I think he could build some browser style app and present it there - but that's no good solution at all. It's a mixture of technologies.

Solution 4

As I recently pointed out to somebody else recently, there is no way to use WPF applications in any form natively on a Mac. The question to ask yourself is, could your code be ported into Silverlight - which is more than capable of running on a Mac? It would seem that this is possibly going to be your best bet.

POH said "As I recently pointed out to somebody else recently"
Do the two recentlies cancel each other out or do the amplify? We should be told.

Pete O'Hanlon 19-Jul-11 7:28am

No. They aren't double negatives. They are reinforcing positives.
