What is the best tool out there at the moment to convert java to c#? Apart from

j2ctranslator
j#

I use IKVM at the moment.

I do not agree with off-topic, as It's clear viewing statistics ... shame :) – Dre 24/3, 2015 at 11:30

Found the following online Java to C# converter useful - javainuse.com/java2csharp – Fragile 9/9, 2022 at 5:5

id love to hear some feedback from someone who has tried XES... It looks like it would be far too simple to handle complex conversions. – Noted 25/10, 2011 at 23:35

also - I was not able to figure out how to use sharpen... – Noted 18/2, 2014 at 20:42

Spent 2 days trying to get Sharpen to build and run, but it is an Eclipse plugin, so the task proved impossible, mostly due to Eclipse being the worst piece of software ever written in the history of the universe. And yes, I tried the XobotOS version, also broken. Tried XES, but the process is so slow and complicated that it would actually be faster to re-write by hand and Remotesoft Octopus is still in beta testing phase. – Koeninger 24/10, 2014 at 6:49

It looks like sharpen is still active but at a different location? github.com/slluis/sharpen the only official location I found is this ugly svn source.db4o.com/db4o/trunk/sharpen – Ahriman 3/2, 2015 at 16:3

I'm intrigued by the relatively high votes on this question compared to the comments, which basically say each option is not effective. Would love to hear from the upvoters or anybody who can recommend anything effective as a converter – Osorio 9/7, 2018 at 7:20

Don't. Leave them as Java and use IKVM to convert them to .Net DLLs.

Ikvm throws an error when we initialize calender library :( – Gromwell 20/2, 2017 at 5:16

The IKVM project lead has announced that he has decided to stop working on IKVM.NET and hopes that someone else will fork it (weblog.ikvm.net/2017/04/21/TheEndOfIKVMNET.aspx) – Umlaut 21/7, 2017 at 22:37

I've had good results with this one. Much easier to use than Sharpen.

I have used this. And it really worked great for me. – Legerdemain 17/2, 2014 at 2:47

Microsoft has a tool called JLCA: Java Language Conversion Assistant. I can't tell if it is better though, as I have never compared the two.

Ya I've tried that before and it doesn't really work very well. I think Microsoft has stopped support for it. It doesn't support newer java features like generics. – Millda 22/5, 2009 at 21:45

Visual Studio 2003 appears to be required to install – Dewhurst 5/9, 2012 at 15:41

@Dewhurst It's supported on 2005 as well. But yeah, screw that. – Opt 14/8, 2015 at 6:28

JLCA was not supported after VS 2005 – Belkisbelknap 21/4, 2016 at 19:42

JLCA link is dead – Swanee 27/1, 2019 at 9:5

still works for me. you just get a stupid big Surface Pro ad on top of the page :) – Emarie 1/2, 2019 at 12:45
