How to Translate C Code to Java

How to Translate C Code to Java thumbnail
Your new cup of Java

Java has become an accepted standard for a wide range of development needs. Software and Web developers often find it necessary to translate the applications they have written in older programming language, such as C, to Java. Luckily, this is possible and not too difficult to do, which saves the developer both time and resources, as he can get a project done faster and without hiring someone to rewrite an application that is already written.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

  1. Translating C Code to Java

    • 1

      Download C2J or a similar utility; basically, C2J is a program that looks at your C code and automatically translates it into Java code. Alternatives to C2J exist, but C2J is a good option since it is free to use and modify and can be freely downloaded right from its website.

    • 2

      Install C2J or the tool of your choice. The exact method of installation will depend on your operating system and the particular tool you have chosen. Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the installation to finish.

    • 3

      Run the tool. Regardless of what tool you have chosen, you will be asked to specify the C file which is usually done by simply clicking "Open," navigating to the file you want converted and specifying where you want the resulting Java file to be saved. Wait for the conversion to complete; the amount of time it takes to convert the code is based on a number of factors including your hardware and the size of the original C code. Expect the conversion to take about three minutes for most large C applications.

      Check the resulting Java code for errors. Though the conversions are generally good, the price of automation is perfection; there will likely be a few errors or things that can be changed to optimize your code for Java.

    • 5

      Save and, if you like, compile your new Java application to see how your program runs now that it is in Java; NetBeans and Eclipse are good IDE (integrated development environments) with error checking and a built-in compiler.
