Toba

Toba is a Java-to-C translator. Toba translates Java class files into C source code. This allows the construction of directly executable programs that avoid the overhead of interpretation. Toba deals with stand-alone applications, not applets. Toba actually reads Java class files, the object code files produced by the Java compiler for an abstract "Java virtual machine" (JVM). The generated code is designed not for human readability (although that's not impossible) but rather for easy optimization by a reasonably clever C compiler. Translation of a class file yields a .c file and a .h file. Each .c file references its own .h file and also the .h files of other classes referenced by the class file.
