All ok but ...now how do you want to execute that from java - easily?
Isn't this what mono/GNUdotNet does?
No idea, but it's an obvious (and easy) approach, which is why I described it. (well, it's obvious for me, because I've been playing with JNI lately). The fact that someone else chose to use it is no surprise. (This is a good example of why I hate software patents)
The reason I said that you might not want to do it this way is because it *is* so obvious. There's probably some subtle technique that can be applied that is non-obvious and better. But the question asked for "easy", so that's how I responded. :-)
