Java to VC++-MFC conversion

[luckycusp]

Does anybody know if its possible using any tool/software to convert a Java project into a project in VC++ using MFCs?

We have an existing code in Java which needs to be further developed, but since I do not know any Java, its better for me to do it in C++. Actually I dont even know VC++ with MFCs but I can learn it slowly as I can already do quite a bit in C++. It sure would be a better option than learning Java.

Please advise.

Whereas Java to C++ might be automated, it's difficult to imagine anyone producing a tool to migrate from a Java framework to MFC.

If your only reason for using C++ is because you know it and not Java, I'd recomend learning Java.

Go learn Java. Having more language knowledge won't hurt (even it is something stupid IMO live Java).

Thanks for your advice. I think it would be best to do it with Java itself than learning MFCs and converting the whole project.

Just that I am in the middle of my master thesis, and did not want to venture into learning a new horrible programming language like Java! Got to live with it now. :(

@kbw

since its a graphics based app, thats why I thought MFCs VC++ would be the ideal solution.

If you know C++ it would take only few days learning some basic Java

Thank you guys, I decided to learn Java. Its honestly lot more easier as the constructs are almost the same as C++!
