hi,

We have java source files.we are going to convert the soucrce files into .NET compatible. Convert ths sources to C# or convert the sources to j# - which is easier and which one has more advantages than other?

Any suggestion ..

Regards

"Easier" depends on your files and what your final goal is. If you are
(mostly) using JDK 1.1.4 or less then J# is going to be MUCH easier as far
as the migration is concerned, and you will have less retraining of your
developers. If you call a number of 1.2 or 1.3 API calls then J# will not
migrate these and you might prefer the JLCA. The JLCA will migrate 85-90%
of J2SE 1.3 and J2EE 1.3.

You also need to decide if you want to end up on C# or J#. Both have their
advantages (such as C# doesn't require the extra J# redistributable to run,
while J# allows you to use JDK and .NET library calls).

Let me know if you have any further questions.
