Compiling Open Babel to Pure Java Bytecode with NestedVM - Building A Runnable Classfile that Almost Works
Richard L. Apodaca · 2007
Previously, I described an unsuccessful first attempt to compile the popular cheminformatics C/C++ library Open Babel to pure Java bytecode using NestedVM. This article follows that topic one step further, and shows how to obtain a runnable Java classfile. Although major functionality is missing, the principle of compiling arbitrary C/C++ code to both Java source code and Java bytecode is illustrated.
