I do not like knocking products, but I could never get this thing to work and it is totally unsupported. So if you see it on the Web, take heed to the warning! You are much better off recoding this or trying to use Component Pascal to do the conversion and then use the JVM from Component Pascal. Of course none of the VCL objects are going to convert. While it is possible to create mapping libraries from VCL to Java, you would find it much easier task to recode in Java or a JVM supported language to begin with. BTW, Java 6 is going to include a Visual Basic VM runtime. I have no idea how feature complete it is or isn't. One more thing. There is a JNI tool for calling Delphi from Java or visa versa. Last time I looked, it was on the Borland Open Tools site.
