The major problem seems that oberon isn't fully object oriented. so
you have to deal with quite a lot of classfiles; one for each type,
record, ... you define in oberon.

I'm trying to build up an oberon2java compiler at the moment as a
diploma thesis. It should be running by March.


I would be pleased, if everyone who has experiences in this topic
shares them with me.
