How should I go about converting a VB macro into Java code?

[Agnisys]

Hi,
Could someone suggest a process/tool by which I can convert a VB macro to Java code?
I find the process extremely time consuming and inefficient at least for me.

I use the XRay tool in VB to look for properties, methods etc, but how do they translate into Java objects and methods?

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Anupam.

P.S. Using Writer : OO 2.4, IDE : Netbeans 6.1, Java 1.6u6 on Windows 2003

I don't have a solution, but I suggest a combination of:

• documentation - add a page to the wiki which maps VB functions to Java code or add some code snippets
• write some base classes to help - I've started this with cahaya.asas
• extend XRay to generate the java code snippet

You may also find the HelperAPI, mentioned in this thread useful, but it appears inactive.

Object Inspector generates codesnipet of the Java code.
