ikvmstub

[asbjornu]

I can see from #125 that ikvmstub has been renamed to IKVM.Tool.Exporter, but I'm unable to find anything named IKVM.Tool.Exporter or ikvmstub in the IKVM package after installation (dotnet restore). Where do I find the executable formerly known as ikvmstub? :)

For a bit of context, I'm working on https://github.com/HtmlUnit/NHtmlUnit/pull/36 where I'm currently trying to translate the old make.cmd script into whatever version 8.2.1 of IKVM supports. I'm currently stuck at the following line:

%IKVMSTUB% mscorlib

So what I'm really wondering is how do I stub mscorlib with version 8.2.1 of IKVM? If it is still with the ikvmstub executable, I need to know where I can find it.

Thanks!

It's in the tools artifact.

Looking over htmlunit, however, this is a project which should be using IKVM.Maven.Sdk

Okay, how do I find the executable after having done dotnet restore? Where is the tools artifact placed after package installation?

Thanks for the tip, but I don't see how "referencing Maven artifacts within .NET SDK projects" is quite what I'm after with NHtmlUnit. NHtmlUnit is a project attempting to translate the Java-based HtmlUnit so HtmlUnit can be used from .NET.

How is IKVM.Maven.Sdk going to help NHtmlUnit? Is there a tutorial on how to build an IKVM.Maven.Sdk project from scratch? The README only seems to be scratching the surface.

From the looks of it, IKVM.Maven.Sdk can possibly be used by .NET applications that want to reference the Java-based HtmlUnit directly, circumventing NHtmlUnit and alleviating its need to exist, entirely. Is that what you are suggesting? If so, that's definitely an interesting approach.

If they don't want to use your wrappers, sure . But your wrappers can still exist in nuget.

NHtmlUnit can have a MavenReference to the HtmlUnit packages in Maven.

The tools artifact is an artifact. On the github releases page.

Okay, cool – I found it. However, when executing ikvmstub mscorlib I get the following error:

Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: netstandard
