Our main goal is performance and whilst IKVM is great it does add a significant overhead.
We would certainly rather avoid a complete rewrite so would be interested to hear thoughts of any other options! -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Wilson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 30 March 2016 15:14 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: C# Version of PDFBox? Neat idea. I'm not sure if I have time to contribute. I guess ... why not IKVM? Is it that there are gaps in IKVM that are messing you up? I've done a bit of my own tweaking to IKVM on a fork of the code to address one or two such gaps. I'd be happy to show you the Git repo. But ... is there another reason? And another way BESIDES rewriting all the Java code in C#?
