Not sure what you mean, but I compile all Java types into .NET types (on the
fly, using Reflection.Emit in combination with the AppDomain.TypeResolve
event).

Some Java classes are not compiled to .NET types, but are instead remapped
to existing .NET types. The most important ones are:
- java.lang.Object -> System.Object
- java.lang.String -> System.String
- java.lang.Throwable -> System.Exception
