Having ported a few projects to .NET, I can say bringing in existing
Java code was pretty straightforward. J# is mostly Java 1.1, right
down to the existing class libraries, so I'm guessing getting
SPECSASIE to run would be simple. New code could then be written in
C#, as it's possible to mix the two, until the old code is supplanted.

But... personally I wouldn't trade Java's cross platform support for
C#'s features, even though C# has a few niceties (actually, operator
overloading and delegates were the only ones I missed when going back
to Java).
