I don't recommend to create a separate rewrite, though.  We currently
produce Java and .NET version with a converter called "Sharpen".  I
don't know whetehr it would be possible to write a J2R converter, but
I would certainly recommend to investigate this path thoroughly if
there's interest.

Please contact german@db4o.com if you're interested to contribute to
this project.
