The Java Language Conversion Assistant has been removed from Visual Studio 2008 and future versions. You have few options:

• Install VS 2003/2005 and run the assistant
• Purchase a commercial solution
• Do the conversion by hand
• Use ikvmc to compile jar files into managed .NET assemblies (personally I've done this with success)
