I would like to compile jchem.jar to a dll so I can use it in a dot Net project. Are there any licensing restrictions I am not aware of that would prevent me from doing this?
Thanks and best regards,
~Mark.

Do you want to do this with IKVM?
The same licensing applies as with JChem. The license file should be in the user home directory.

Thank you Tamas,
Yes this would be with IKVM. The intention would be for a desktop application to be used within our institute and beyond.
Since it involved the manipulation of the jchem jar file I wanted to check that I could do this.

You are welcome.
The reason I have asked this, that we are going the release an IKVM based API(DLL) soon, and we would like to also improve on the .NET interop support.
If you wish we could send you our DLL in June. We would be interested in your feedback.
Tamas.

Ok.
I will let you know when the DLL is ready.

Do you think that image export will be available through .NET? The ikvm site suggests that forms based functionality is very limited and my initial testing only produces blank images...
Thank you :-)

Yes, but that is the tricky part. At the moment only .NET Bitmap will be supported, but there are some limitations. You will have to use different code, but I will give you an example. I will try to send you a preview DLL next week.

I have posted an example of how to generate images from .Net code in the community section of the forum. It uses the Caffeine open source project which runs a java vm in the same process as the .Net runtime. It seems to work very well :-)

Thanks for your contribution.
We are planning to check out Caffeine as well, but our main focus is on IKVM and JNBridge at the moment. The reason behind IKVM is, that you do not need Java (since it translates bytecode to IL), and provides good performance.
