Hi all,

Can you recommend a tool to convert a bunch of legacy C code into Java?
Thanks.

Why? It is more normal to port from inefficient to efficient languages, and C is much more efficient than Java. ...
That is a myth.

Assuming the same programmer writing as near as possible the same algorithm then the C code should out perform the Java code by a significant value for most tasks, by being faster (no interpreter overheads for a starter), ...
All the code that is executed frequently is converted to native machine code by the JIT compiler. There are many optimizations available dynamically that are not available to ahead-of-time machine code compilation used by languages like C. There are some few applications that are not competitive in Java, but not many.
