Running a Java window within a C# Application

Question

If you want to integrate a Java frame into a C# program, take a look at IKVM, that is :

an implementation of Java for Mono and the Microsoft .NET Framework.

otherwise you can simply call the java app packed into a jar file in this way :

        Process proc = new Process();  
        ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();  
        startInfo.Arguments = @"-jar javaapp.jar";  
        startInfo.FileName = "java";  
        proc.StartInfo = startInfo;  
        proc.Start();

You could use IKVM which provides your exact requirement I guess.
