Yes, the syntax of Java looks similar to the syntax of C.
No, Java does not have a lot in common with C or C++.
Java is a completely new language. Building an association between
Java and C/C++ is nothing but a marketing trick, which seems to work well.
There is not much hope that a compiler from Oberon to Java
will be practical. The impedance mismatch between those
two languages is too big.
The other way round seems to be more interesting, viz. to incorporate
for example Java applets into the Oberon system. I could imagine
a Java Gadget, that acts as a wrapper for arbitrary Java applets.
Not trivial, and a lot of programming, but possible.
If there is an OLE (or OpenDOC) wrapper available for Java, it will then be possible
to incorporate even OLE (or OpenDOC) objects into the Oberon environment,
which looks sort of interesting to me.
