Question

Microsoft supposedly offer(ed?) something called the JLCA, which converts Java into C#. I can’t find any download or anything for it. Does anyone have any information about this tool and how to use it in VS2008/2010? I can find version 2.0 but not 3.0… supposedly it came built into VS2005?

Answer 1

Microsoft Java Language Conversion Assistant 3.0

Page has been moved to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/troubleshoot/visualstudio/language-compilers/jlca-available-download but download doesn’t seem to be available any more.

Anyway, it’s discontinued:

Retirement of J# language and Java
Language Conversion Assistant from
future versions of Visual Studio

Since customers have told us that the
existing J# feature set largely meets
their needs and usage of J# is
declining, Microsoft is retiring the
Visual J# product and Java Language
Conversion Assistant tool to better
allocate resources for other customer
requirements. The J# language and JLCA
tool will not be available in future
versions of Visual Studio. To preserve
existing customer investments in J#,
Microsoft will continue to support the
J# and JLCA technology that shipped
with Visual Studio 2005 through to
2015 as per our product life-cycle
strategy.
