As you can tell by the extremely helpful responses here, no, there is no tool to do such a thing. VB 6 and Java are two extremely different animals. You'll definitely have to translate, although, you may just want to start from scratch to leverage Java's features, chiefly, object oriented programming.

Doh! I see now, only reason I thought that was possible was b/c I've seen people translating from C++ to java :blush:

C++ to Java is a little easier since they share some syntax and both are OO.

VB6->VB.NET->C#, yes. But VB6->Java....Ehhh.......

Well since C# is strikingly similar to Java it would seem as though you could go from C#->Java. But any time I've used one of those one-langauge-to-another programs (such as the VB6 to VB.NET converter ) the code ended up so mangled that I just found it easier to start from scratch.

And I would advise the post of this thread to do the same. VB6 and Java are completly differnt. Also if you rewrite the entire program you can take advantage of Java's features (that VB6 lacks) such as object oriented code.

Not to mention if it uses a GUI (which why wouldn't a VB program? That's all it's overly good for is an easy GUI ;)) I'm not sure how easily it would translate even from C# to Java, it would have to be one dang good translator to do that.
