Hi,
I am looking for a converter from cobol to java. Is there any tool
available
John
I think PerCOBOL compiles COBOL to Java byte code. Not sure that is
what
you want.

If you want a Cobol source code to be compiled to J2EE, then there's a
lot of devtool you could use.... one of them is MF (Microfocus).
However, if you mean converting Cobol "source code" to Java "source
code"... then you're out of luck. Do not know if tools exist.

You might be able to do it in two steps: COBOL to C (which I think is
the default OpenCOBOL way of doing things) and then C to Java.

Wow! I sure would hate to maintain the Java that results from that!
