I read in InfoQ: "Ja.NET is a port of Java 1.5 SE to the .NET platform. The compiler is based on the Eclipse JDT, which has been modified to generate IL as well as Java Byte Code. Java traditionally compiles each class into a separate file, but this creates an unacceptable overhead for .NET. To address this, a tool based on Cecil is used to create larger assemblies much in the same way Jar files are created for Java."

IKVM is a Java virtual machine on top of .NET (I mean, implemented using C# instead of C++, for example).
AFAIK, Ja.NET is a java compiler that generates IL instead of bytecodes.
