FYI: NetRexx to Java to Objective-c

Converting Java to Objective-C with Google’s J2ObjC

Google has open sourced J2ObjC, a transpiler converting Java source
code to Objective-C/C++ source code for the iOS platform.

According to the J2ObjC’s wiki, the project was started out of
frustration dealing with different code bases for web, Android and iOS
applications. While web client apps based on GWT can share non-UI code
with Android apps, the same apps had to be rewritten for iOS from
scratch. J2ObjC solves part of the problem being able to convert
business logic Java code into its corresponding Object-C/C++ source
code that does not require editing in order to be used. The tool does
not generate iOS UI code because its authors believe that “the only
way to get a world-class, fast iOS UI is to write it in Objective-C
using Apple's iOS SDK frameworks,” and due to intricacies dealing with
such code.

While server code could theoretically be translated, J2ObjC currently
supports only client-side development.

Hi Fernando,

yes I saw this, re-tweeted it (as I almost seem to remember).
It opens perspective. I let my IOS development license lapse, but this
makes it tempting again.

Thanks for sending this to the list.

best regards

René.
