Apparently the Java Conversion tool that used to be in Visual Studio 2005 is
no longer supported in Visual Studio 2008. Anyone have any suggestions on how
to convert a Java program to C# in Visual Studio 2008?

This is a forlorn hope, but -- have there been any new developments or
discoveries on this front in the last couple of months?

I just purchased VS 2008 to convert and complete a large project which
was begun in Java, but which turned out to require some features which
are only available in .NET. I was aware that the converter was no
longer supported and no longer packaged with Visual Studio, but I knew
that it could be downloaded separately. I have now discovered that
with VS 2008 it won't even install.

I had expected to tweak this application's GUI (which is elementary)
and add some code to make the application communicate with Microsoft
Office. Now I'm looking at hand-converting thousands of lines of Java
code before I can even get started. If there's no way around this, I
may have to choose between abandoning the project and buying a copy of
VS 2005 which I will use just once. Neither prospect is appealing.
