Java isn't 'just a language'
Java is a whole platform. In order to be able to translate
Java to C++, you also need to port the whole platform.
The platform has already been translated, its called gcj & is a gcc tool
chain full fledged member now. It was used to compile the Eclips IDE
into native code. As it happens, in order to get this to work, the
developers had to get their JAVA implementation to work with other
languages, & the one it works best with is C++.
This is not strictly speaking a translator (into other languages),
however, it is a pretty good cross language integration tool. The
expressed purpose of this tool was to compile the JAVA code in such a
fashon as it could actually be used without having to wait 120 sec for
some operations to complete. For full info on their efforts, see the
following link:

With tools such as these, converting your legacy JAVA code to all C++
can be done at your leasure, a class at a time.
