What do you mean by DLL, exactly? Native, managed .NET, mixed?

What do you want to do? Do wrap the DLL in a jar file? or Make the functionality of the jar file same as the DLL (Convert C/C++ to Java)?

Strictly speaking, it's not possible at all, by a number of reasons. The platforms are fundamentally different. However, it's probably possible to generate a JAR from a .NET assembly which would do almost the same as the DLL for some limited set of cases. If someone offered such product, I would advise to take it with great care, and use only if it generated source code. However, I doubt that doing such work makes practical sense.

And forget about anything easy.
