Eclipse plug-in for conversion of Java source code to C#.

Eclipse plug-in for conversion of Java source code to C#.

The tool was originally developed by Versant to facilitate conversion of their Java-based db4o object database to a .NET equivalent.

In 2010, Sharpen was released as free software.

Information on how to download and configure Sharpen within Eclipse can be found here.

There are several forks of Sharpen available. One relatively up-to-date fork is maintained here. More recently, developers at Xamarin used Sharpen to port Android to C#. The effort was open sourced and is available here.
