Yes, VARPG can create Java classes, and VARPG is written using RPG.  But
that doesn't seem helpful here because existing RPG programs can't be just
converted.   There's a lot of differences in design and architecture between
the green screen cycle-driven approach and the GUI event-driven approach. 
Additionally, VARPG is Windows based and it isn't clear to me if that is a
plus or a minus in Java World.  Finally, others tell me that VARPG generated
Java is not a pretty sight.

Visual Age RPG can create Java classes from RPG source, I think. Booth
Martin, on this list, might have more to say on that. The RPG can be
imported from the iSeries to VARPG. I wonder whether this can be useful in
converting.

Good luck
