I'm using Java 8 on Windows 10.
I'm trying to compile in C# using IKVM 8.4, documentation is awful.

It can be tricky to get working.

https://www.vajhoej.dk/arne/articles/call1.html#jvmclr_ikvm

has some build and run scripts. That worked with the version I tested
with (older than 8.4).

That doesn't say where they got ikvm, what version they used.
I still have no idea if or how 8.4 is supposed to work. I did try some older versions, got it working with 8.1.5717.0.

That stuff is also tested with 8.1.5717.0.

Do you need 8.4?

I have no idea what's changed from the 8.1 to the 8.4, usually newest is best, thought maybe they'd use a newer JDK.
We started with 7.2 which of course doesn't work with Java 8, so I looked for newer and 8.4 was what showed up from the nuget with the pre-release box checked, had to dig through the github to pick out that 8.1

It is a bit messy.

windward studies has:

https://github.com/windward-studios/ikvm with 7.5 (2018)

https://github.com/windward-studios/ikvm8 with 8.5 (2019)

someone else has:

https://github.com/ikvm-revived/ikvm with 8.4 (2 weeks old)

and then there is this one:

https://github.com/jessielesbian/ikvm with 8.6 (2021)

But if the 8.1 works then maybe it makes sense just to use that.

If you need 8.5 (2019) / 8.4 (2 weeks old) / 8.6 (2021), then I could
take a look at one of them.
