dll creation from java source
in [Java Help]

From: Mac on 28 Jun 2010 20:52 All- Am afraid I already know the answer to this, but...: am interested in compiling a set of java classes into .dll form to be later accessed from MS' VBA. I realize this is likely making life much harder than it needs to, but my deployment options are extremely limited, and having an "externally" running application outside the IT-approved norm (vs something "trusted"/"internal" like Excel) is currently a no- go. Is there any way to bridge the gap and allow this accessibility? Appreciate any help/suggestions. Mac

If you can still find one of those then you can use it. Arne

I know it is obsolete, but it is a way to get Java source code into the Microsoft world. rossum |
