Is there any way to compile Java code into a DLL?

See question above.

What exactly is your purpose for doing this? Knowing your motivation might get you a better answer. — bobwienholt, Nov 04 '08 at 17:30

Yes, use IKVM.

And it's incredibly easy to use:

ikvmc myjar.jar

outputs myjar.dll

It is better to create a c++ loader which

1)Hides the console

2)runs your application

This is not an answer. Please explain why `is it better to create a c++ loader` and *how* to do it. – Eugen Pechanec May 18 '17 at 06:59
