Today folks at
db4o released
Sharpen, an open source Java to C# converter.
Am happy to see this coming, as it is soming I've pushed strongly for when I was working at
db4objects, and was hacking on it, mentored by its main developer,
Rodrigo. There I had the chance to
improve the
generated code, to make it look like hand written code, that follows .net conventions.
It's nothing magic, and requires compromises on both the Java and the generated C#, but it's pretty handy, easily hackable, and all in all, damn useful.
Rodrigo wrote a
nice tutorial on Sharpen.
Time to port your Java applications to the amazing
Mono!
