It is not too late - they are "in the early stages"... http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/herbertc?entry=project_semplice_visual_basic_for#comments Quote: We are in the early stages of development for a compiler and tools for writing Visual Basic (VB) programs for the Java Platform. That means we will compile VB source code into Java class files that will run on the Java Virtual Machine. Even better, you will be able to import existing VB6 applications into any of the Netbeans family of tools and continue to work on them. Of course I must add a word of caution at this point. If your existing VB6 application contains any calls to the Windows 32 API, we will not be able to emulate all these entry points. We will also not be able to handle any OCX controls that you don't have the sources for. That said, let me show you some of the stuff we demoed yesterday in our session. The slides of the session are also available on the JavaOne website.

Quote: solved by an undocumented API present in all versions of JDK's from Sun, for example JDK 1.1.8, JDK 1.2.2 and JDK 1.3 Actually, doesn't work in 1.5 and is beside the point... Why would you compile you VB6 app to Java Bytecode just to get a Windows-only Java app ? from http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/herbertc/Weblog : "If your existing VB6 application contains any calls to the Windows 32 API, we will not be able to emulate all these entry points.
