Visual Basic TO Java

[siki]

I have come across some neat programms to convert a VB Application to Java.Unfortunately though non seem to be perfect.
Some only convet the form and not the code,others are shareware and ask for money.I have been thinking of making an addin for visual basic which on one clink of a button would change the entire code into java and which would be freeware.
Ofcoarse Anyone wants the sourcefile need to pay.

Anyone out there intrested email me.
Java experience would be required,
along with some basic decompiling techniques.

why do you want vb converted into java whats the difference, what is better in java to make a project like that ?

java and visual basic are really not the same...and if you want to know 2 languages you can learn it... that like my enlish...it's so bad because it's not my first language, i can use translator but I know than the idea of the sentence change...that the same with java and vb.

YOu are asking me the difference between Java and VB ?
I would say they both are uncompariable. Java is a complete stand alone Language you can use it to make your own visual basic.While VB is only a tool by microsoft. People (including me) us VB because its much easier to make apilications in VB then in java.But ofcoarse Java has its own advantages.Its much more powerful and not to mention platform independent while VB will have problems running in other os then Microsoft. Ofcoarse .NET is different story.

Have a nice day.

Yeah ok, we all agree it's not the same at all, but what are the major advance on java except it is totally portable ?
I still can't see the advantage to convert vb into java...
Maybe cause i don't know java very much, but, ya can't still explain why java seemed to you much better, and not c/c++ or assembly which are VERY portable too...

Au fait, DaOK, tu parles francais à la base ? Paske moi aussi du coup ;) Bah vi, en france on parle francais.... Enfin bon, voila c'etait histoire de dire un truc koi...

I see no advantage to converting Visual Basic to Java unless you are planing on running your application on multiple OS's Lunix, Unix, Widows ect..... or maybe if you are linking in assembly rountines to optimize your code but even still i don't think that would justify converting.

Dilenger, Java doesnt support inline ASM :confused:

Anyway I don't think it would be too difficult.
Obviously there's a lot of classes, packages, exceptions and what not that you would have to deal with, but I don't think it would be too difficult.

For my end of year exams in college last year we had to convert java fragments into ASM (by hand with just paper & pen) . I quite liked doing that actually :)

Couldn't you link an assembly routine to Java? I know that Java can't run assembly in line like C++ can. It would be nice if it could though. :p I guess since Java is supposed to be the "big cross platform language" it doesn't support this feature. But then again it wouldn't matter what OS you were running right? It would just matter on the specific processor you were running?
