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?

    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.
