If there is a way to interact from C# directly (without IKVM or other wrappers) to HSQLdb, please let me know. It would take away the need to convert the lexicon databases.
This is what I explored so far:
HSQLDB.org claims to have a C# solution, but that uses IKVM to wrap java sources
SharpHSQL claims to be a C# port, however only functions to create databases (and read them in again) rather than read existing (in java created) databases. Also it is outdated and requires quite some recoding to build.
SharpHSQL (b) updated version of the previous, but still no way to read existing databases.
