Hello
I've just published a "bud" of porting Apache MM from Java to C# (.Net Core)
It's there: https://github.com/Echopraxium/apache_metamodel_dotnet_core_bud
It is a limited subset (40 of the java source code files) but at least
it compiles without errors and
uses .Net Core as suggested by Jasper.
Please find below a copy of the attached README:
****************************************************************************************
Foreword
------------------------------
Here is a 'bud' version for a port of Apache MetaModel from Java to C#
(.Net Core). Please
notice that it is a very limited subset which has neen ported ATM.
Conversion Issues
------------------------------
Even with a limited subset of the java source code files (40), I've
encountered a lot of
conversions issues, from the very straightforward (e.g. 'String s =
input_string.trim()'
becomes 'string s = input_string.Trim()'), to the ""equivalence
required"" (e.g. anonymous
implementation of interface, like in getComparable() method of
BooleanComparator class).
Anyway, I've tried to do my best (even if my choices may reveal
erroneous or even absurd),
at least to compile the 'conversion recipes' that I've crafted on the
way (they are
documented in doc/java2csharp_recipes.txt).
I've also provided a set of 'Helper classes' (under
apache_metamodel_dotnet_core/org/
apache/metamodel/j2cs), like class extensions (e.g. add a GetHashcode()
method to the
C# 'object' class), type replacement (e.g. Java's Number class converted
to 'CsNumber')
, etc..
Here is the result of my 'J2Cs' (Java To C#) adventures until now. In
the hope that it may
bring interest for validation and maybe a "child project" Apache
MetaModel which is a great
and innovative solution for interoperability in the Biotop of Data
Stores, well beyond the
ODBC and ORM solutions IMHO.
