If someone would want to try and make Excelsior Jet'ed Java run on UWP, then I think what is needed is the socalled "desktop brige": https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bridges/desktop http://www.techtimes.com/articles/178056/20160917/ microsoft-desktop-bridge-hard-at-work-first-apps-ported-to-universal-windows-platform-now-available-for-windows-10-users.htm But I suspect that would require assistance from Excelsior.
