Java Conversion Tool Help
I installed Beta Version II of the IDE and Java Conversion tool. When I ran the tool it appears to have run fine. The problem however is that when I click on the correction links to get the examples on how to convert some of the code it can not find the help. I did a full install of the MSDN help that came with the conversion tool and with VS 2005 and still no documentation on how to do the actual conversion. Also searched MSDN for the articles and they were not found. Does anybody know where the documentation is located or where I can find the examples at least?
Hi,
Really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you because of this. This was a known issue in the VS 2005 Beta2 product. Some of the JLCA help links are broken in the Beta2 release. As a workaround, there are two options that you can follow
- Install the previous version of JLCA. This version works over of Visual Studio 2003. You may download the same from here. Though this is Beta stage, the product is pretty stable.
- In case you do not have access to VS2003, here is how you can use the VS 2005 Beta2 help. Go to Visual Studio 2005 Documentation -> Visual Studio -> Visual C# -> Migrating to C# -> Converting Java Applications to Visual C# -> JLCA Diagnostic Messages Listed by Package -> Java Language Errors, Warnings, and Issues. This lists all the messages that are emitted out by the JLCA tool along with the proposed work around. You may want to look at the package that you are converting and the emitted link to get to the correct message. I understand that this would be a tedious process and thus would recommend downloading step 1 if possible.
You may access the resources, samples, case studies etc. for JLCA from the JLCA website.
Thanks.
