From the website:
Jabaco is a simple programming language with a Visual Basic like syntax. Jabaco enables you to create powerful software for all Java supported operating systems.
Jabaco is:
A BASIC compiler:
You write sourcecode similar to VB6 and with Jabaco you can compile it to bytecode which is similar to the output of the Java programing language.
An integrated development environment (IDE):
Autocompletion, code highlighting, object browsing, a GUI editor and other modern IDE-stuff will support you in your tasks.
A debugger:
Start the project, step through your sourcelines, readout your vars, fix some bugs and continue the session without a restart.
An idea to do something different:
Jabaco must be much more than that to exist. It needs a lively framework and an active community - it is on you to decide.

I have looked at this and it seems to be a nice package. I plan to do some development in this, being a long time VB developer. Having a cross-platform VB6 is kinda cool.
Thats a nice find Rick, cheers for sharing it :)

Very interesting though. I never would have though of something like that.
