Java + .NET = IKVM.NET

E2E: Erik Meijer and Jeroen Frijters - IKVM.NET (Java VM implemented in .NET) | Charles | Channel 9

IKVM.NET is an implementation of Java for Mono and the Microsoft .NET Framework. It contains a Java Virtual Machine implemented in .NET, a .NET implementation of the Java class libraries, tools that enable Java and .NET interoperability.

This is essentially what enables Xamarin for Android (used to be Mono for Android), where .NET (Mono) VM and JavaVM work in parallel in the same application.
