Here's an honest opinion: forget about translators and convertors.  Your 
programmers will never learn Java unless they code it themselves.  
Start with small projects so you develop a coding style and standards 
(since you will undoubtedly make changes to your shiny new Customer and 
Order classes along the way), and by and by you'll be ready to tackle 
something larger.

And as your RPG programmers start asking how to do this or that 
iSeries-specific thing in Java, tell them to study the Toolbox docs 
(jt400).  It is a fantastic resource that shouldn't be underestimated.
