I was wondering if there were any plans to create a translator to convert
C# code into Java code?
Also, what is the rationale behind the Java 6 requirement? From what I
understand, you can't run Eclipse with a Java 6 VM on the Mac because of
the business with Carbon and Cocoa. I imagine you can still set JDT up to
use Java 6 to compile your own Java projects but launching Eclipse with a
Java 6 VM is out of the question. Java 6 is also currently only available
on Intel 64-bit Macs that are running Leopard. There are still plenty of
Mac users that are on older hardware (or on Tiger).

Not yet. To do this I need an equivalent for C# to the JDT + refactoring
capability.

It's just because the "mapping files" needed by the translator reflect the
version of the JDK use by Eclipse.
If I want to provide a JDK5 version I need to provide the corresponding
mapping files.

There is a tool available here codeporting dot com . Its free and cloud based app so there is no need to install or download it just submit your code and it will convert it into java code instantly.
