Java to Ceylon Converter

[Rohit Mohan]

The Java to Ceylon converter that I have been working on as my GSoC project is now part of the Ceylon IDE (Both Eclipse and IntelliJ). It can be found at https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon.tool.converter.java2ceylon and is now required to build the IDE. It can also be used as a Ceylon command line plugin.

The converter does have some limitations though. Some of them are:

• The java code that has to be converted has to be a complete java file. Code snippets do not work as of now.
• The converted code is not formatted.
• Overloading is not supported. This has to be handled manually after conversion.
• Implicit type casting and lambda expressions do not work.
• Array declarations that are like {1, 2, 3} do not work.

The converter in the IDE can be found in Source -> Paste Java as Ceylon

If there are any other bugs/incorrect conversions please open an issue at https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon.tool.converter.java2ceylon/issues.
