Is it possible to use Java to create dll?

Question

Want to create animation dll for Window XP Is it ok to create Java2d animation and export as dll??

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to generate DLLs from Java source code.

2 Methods I have used:

1. IKVM
2. Graal

IKVM is mature, but rather slow in runtime execution of the generated DLL.

Graal is fast, but early days and immature in the Windows environment. See https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/295 for further info.

There are other commercial options available as well.
