Ephedra is a C/C++ to Java migration tool. The tool reads C/C++ source code and transliterates it to Java source code. Though it can convert most kinds of C/C++ source code, the focus is on C/C++ libraries that do not use any or much GUI code. The goals of the transliteration are readability of the generated Java source code, easy integration and interfacing with native Java code, little or no user interaction during the transliteration process, good performance, and basic C++ support.
