It's not possible. They have mostly the same syntax,
but the semantic of languages has about nothing
common. Don't even think port C program to java
without complete redesign of basic programs
structures and data.
Also, support libraries (libc.so and java.* packages)
are too different, and this means even more
for program change (in case of automatic
conversion).
C sources may be a good tutorial and/or documentation
and/or example how to solve the task, but
simple translating of even middle-colmplex
program without redesign will lead to
_very_ slow and inefficient java program.
