Java and MSIL

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hey all,

Old time windows guy but new to the .net stuff. We have a java app at
work that I need to convert to .net (basically it's going to be a
custom authentication module)-- either that or a long rewrite. Been
trying to read about the J# support for .java files and to the best of
my knowledge it only supports to JDK 1.1 (or 1.2). I'm pretty sure
this app I'm using was compiled against JDK 1.4 or 1.5 and also uses
log4j, xerces, and a couple of other libraries.

Are there any easy pathways here? Are people just using J# as a crutch
to relieve some pains from porting over Java work or is there some
group actually porting over functionality that I don't know about. I
don't mind having to rework some of the Java app to get it to MSIL but
if it's going to be a bunch of work, I may as well consider seriously a
rewrite.

Would appreciate any guidance.

Thanks!
