I'm trying to use Stanford CoreNLP (which is a Java project) in C#.
I found this Nuget package which contains CoreNLP converted to .NET using IKVM, and it's working fine, however I need to do some modifications on the java project as well.
I downloaded CoreNLP from Github, I can build the CoreNLP JAR from Ant, and it's also running fine in eclipse, however I'm having problems in converting JAR to DLL. Based on some build-log that I found in google, I'm doing this:
ikvmc.exe -version:2.1 ..\lib\joda-time.jar -out:joda-time.dll
ikvmc.exe -r:joda-time.dll -version:0.4.7 ..\lib\jollyday-0.4.7.jar -out:jollyday.dll
ikvmc.exe -version:0.23 ..\lib\ejml-0.23.jar -out:ejml-0.23.dll
ikvmc.exe -version:1.2.10 ..\lib\xom-1.2.10.jar -out:xom.dll
ikvmc.exe -version:1.0 ..\lib\javax.json.jar -out:javax.json.dll
ikvmc.exe -r:joda-time.dll -r:jollyday.dll -r:ejml-0.23.dll -r:xom.dll -r:javax.json.dll -version:3.5.0 ..\javanlp-core.jar -out:javanlp-core.dll
All I get from the following conversions are a few warnings about referenced classed that can't be found:

P.S.: I also tried converting protobuf.jar, but didn't help with the problem described below.
Problem is: when I replace the Nuget references for my freshly-compiled references (6 dlls), it compiles fine (finds all references), but throws this MissingMethodException: Additional information: Method not found: 'Void edu.stanford.nlp.pipeline.StanfordCoreNLP..ctor(java.util.Properties)'.
Can anyone shed some light?
