I was expecting of using the Java Language Conversion Assistant that comes with visual studio.
That is not really a tool that can be used to maintain a piece of software. It can give you a rough conversion but it needs a lot of manual intervention. Plus it does not generate idiomatic .NET code.
From memory it doesn't deal with NIO either and would almost certainly
explode with MINA and some of our other dependencies.
Another solution would be to use The XML Encoded Source tool that would convert java into XES and XES back to C#.
I haven't tried it but I have to say I am quite skeptical, especially since XES is still 0.4 alpha. I think that while it may seem attractive to be able to generate the clients from a single model, since the Java and C# languages are quite similar, the differences in the APIs and frameworks for such a low level project (particularly around I/O for example) make it impractical.
