Visual J# Migration

[sukishan]

Visual J# provides wizards and command-line tools to assist you in converting older Java and J++ applications, applets, and bytecode. Once the conversion is complete, the J# application runs on the .NET Framework without the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Tools to Convert Legacy Applications
You can quickly convert most VJ++ and Java applications to Visual J# using one of these tools:

* The J# Upgrade Wizard automatically converts your existing J++ projects to Visual J#.

* The command line Visual J# Binary Converter Tool converts certain Java-language bytecode (.class) files to Microsoft® intermediate language (MSIL).

* The downloadable HTML Applet to Object Tag Converter upgrades Java Applets to Microsoft J# Browser Controls.

Supported
The Visual J# conversion tools support upgrades to the following types of applications:

* Visual J++ 6.0 code and projects.

* Java applet source code for browser and applet standalone applications.

* Database applications that use JDBC.

* .NET Framework CodeDOM. CodeDOM, or Code Document Object Model metadata that describes the structure of a piece of source code for rendering application text in multiple languages.

* COM Interop applications with a client and remote or local server.

Not Supported
You can manually convert code that utilizes the following legacy packages, library, and custom attributes:

* CLASSPATH feature of VJ++ 6.0.

* Java Native Interface or Remote Method Invocation.

* sun.io.*, sun.net.*, and netscape.* packages.

* JDK 1.1.4.
