Have you looked at ikvm? It allows you to run java code in a c# VM and call into it from C#/Ironpython/Boo etc. I have some Java code libraries here that I run this way and write my new stuff in C#. Someday the libraries will get ported/replaced/become unused and then no worries. It was pretty painless to get going. The availability of value types especially made it worth it for me.
