how to use java libraries in unity (not for android)

Hi there,

I would like to use a java library in Unity, when I did a test with a very simple program that required only "Java dependencies" I just converted the .jar into a .dll with ikvm, put the ikvm dlls and the generated dll in the Assets folder and it worked. However when I try to convert a .jar file in which my code uses external libraries, the ikvm option is not possible because these external libraries are not found, and if i try to convert them to dll first ikvm doesn't find the dependencies of these libraries, so it becomes quite a maze of dependencies.
How can I do to use in another way a jar file in Unity? Please not that this is not for an android application.

Thanks for your help and happy new year

 

It's not possible; Unity doesn't use Java. You can use .NET dlls, or native code plugins.

But can the native code plugins use java?

 

No, they must be native code (machine code, such as compiled by C++). Java isn't native code.

Ok I see, thanks for your help
