java2python - Java to Python Source Code Translator
---------------------------------------------------
java2python 0.1 Released 14 February 2007


What is java2python?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
java2python is a simple but effective tool to translate Java source code into
Python source code. It's not perfect, and does not aspire to be.


Where can I get java2python?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
java2python is available for download from Google code:

http://code.google.com/p/java2python/downloads/list

Project page:

http://code.google.com/p/java2python/


How do I use java2python?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like this:

$ j2py -i input_file.java -o output_file.py

The command has many options, and supports customization via multiple
configuration modules.


What are the requirements?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
java2python requires Python 2.5 or newer. Previous versions may or may not
work. java2python requires ANTLR and PyANTLR to translate code, but
translated code does not require ANTLR.


What else?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
java2python is installed with distutils. Refer to the Python distutils
documentation for more information. The digest version is:

$ tar xzf java2python-0.1.tar.gz
$ cd java2python-0.1
$ python setup.py install

java2python is licensed under the GNU General Public License 2.0. No license
is assumed of (or applied to) translated source.

I'm very interested in your experience with java2python. Please drop me an
note with any feedback you have.
