Converting Batik to DLL

Dear All,

Currently I am developing the SVG related stuffs. I am using
the Batik
Library for managing SVG. I used JDK 1.5 for my testing and
it worked fine.
Now I want to use Visual Studio J# for the same development.
I have
following questions

Question 1.
Anybody know any tool or any idea for converting Batik
library source to
DLL?
I already tried to use JLCA (Microsoft Java Language
Conversion Assistant)
but it did not work.

Question 2.
When I tried to compile the batik library in VS J#, it gives
error for some
of JDK API.
The reason is that J# support JDK 1.1.5 Version and Batik
need JDK 1.3 or
later.  Is there any way that I can update the JDK in Visual
Studio J#?

Your kind help will be appreciated.

J# is pretty much Java 1.1 and as Batik is for the most part
Java 1.4
you'll probably have to do a lot of converting of the code
to get
somewhere with it. As for making a DLL out of it, Adobe
already has an
SVG ActiveX control for web browsers, ever consider calling
that control
from an application?

Forget the Microsoft tools. They just won't work. If you
want to J# to
be compatible with JDK 1.3 you'll have to talk to
Microsoft.

The only viable option I see is IKVM (http://www.ikvm.net). That
could
give you a .NET compatible DLL of Batik. But there's one
big problem:
AWT/Java2D support in IKVM is minimal. However, I heard that
GNU
Classpath (used by IKVM) recently added a pure-Java AWT
implementation
which could actually help IKVM. Not sure on the status
there. And if
.NET is not an option, you're probably out of luck anyway.

The other option depending on your use case is to deploy
Batik as a
WebService in a normal JVM and access that from your Win32
application.

If that's also not an option you'll have to look for
another SVG library
like http://www.mozil
