I have a Java project which I’d like to convert to C#, and after looking here and elsewhere found out about a tool, Sharpen.

However, in order to get it up and running (I’m new to Java) the site linked above describes grabbing the source and building it as a plugin to the Eclipse IDE, which I’d rather not do since I don’t ordinarily do Java.

Does anyone know whether a standalone EXE exists which can simply utilize Sharpen to take a given Java project and run it through the wringer to convert it to C#? Or are Java and C# similar enough that it should be pretty straightforward to just port the code over to .NET manually?

    I would personally do it manually. You can reflect on where the Java design choices simply aren’t appropriate for .NET, and end up with idiomatic C# code instead of code which looks very much like C# with a Java accent.

    It also means you’re more likely to understand the code at the end 🙂
