   Another approach would be to use A# and to use Microsoft's 
   .NET and Java/J2EE Interoperability
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/java/interop/default.aspx
   "No application is an island, and the need to interoperate is common. The
links on this page discuss how best to write code and systems that
interoperate between .NET and Java/J2EE."

   Hmm... I found this statement by Robert Dewar:
   
   "... so people know, the status of JGNAT is that we have kept
   the sources updated to the minimal extent that they compile, but we
   no longer support this product and it was never fully completed. This
   means that the sources in their current state are probably quite far
   from being usable." (Robert Dewar, on gcc@gcc.gnu.org, 07 Jul 2004)
   
   So it seems JGNAT is a no go. (Or is it?)
   
   There is also reference to a similar tool from Intermetrics. Anyone 
   knows? (And does it have 'Unrestricted_Access? :-) Thanks a lot.
