While you might have good intentions, and the link might be good, you honestly sound like a spambot.

Hi, I was the project leader for the project NACA mentionned above (automatic transcoding from cobol to java for 4 millions lines of Cobol).

If you have any specific question, please feel free to get in touch with me via a comment at the bottom of my article mentionned above.

We've had lots of projects around the world reusing our tools with good success. We still improve them on a regular basis(check out http://code.google.com/p/naca) to fulfill the needs of those projects based on NACA tech.

Theres an interesting book available for a $1 (paperback) that may help in such an endeavour, 'Java for Cobol Programmers' by John C. Byrne http://amzn.to/bKqc5j
