Supercede is a Java tool
It has a Win32 compiler that compiles java even for classes you don't have the code for...
It also has "JADO" which is a Java version of ADO, using near-identical syntax. This apparently allows fairly good conversion of VB forms to Java forms.
It is certainly worth a look... anyone tempted to look beyond VFP might consider it.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
