I don't have a Facebook account so I can't leave a comment on the
facebook group, but if you're looking for -translation- from Visual
Basic to Java, there's already an open source project for that -- the
code was written by Danny Coward ( http://blogs.sun.com/dannycoward )
a while back.

https://net2java.dev.java.net/

Semplice was something different entirely; it aimed to make Visual
Basic yet another VM language so you wouldn't migrate your VB code to
Java, you would keep programming in VB and execute on the VM.

Releasing it is not going to be easy. There's a whole open source
review thing you've gotta go through when you open source stuff - it
took a long time for the JDK, and there's a cost to it. Plus in the VB
area there might be legal issues as well...
