(Yes I know I can call Java code from Scala; but that is pointless; I want to DELETE the Java code, not keep it around and have to look at it and maintain it forever!)

Are there any utilities out there to convert Java source to Scala source?

I believe theoretically it should be possible to accomplish with minimal lossage.

I have found this but it seems inactive, probably buggy/incomplete... http://sourceforge.net/projects/java2scala/

Any alternatives?
