Conversion Amanuensis is a conversion teaching tool that assists in converting any of the 17 basic Java types to any other. The software acts as your side when you require Java code for converting anything to anything else.

One of the best features of Conversion Amanuensis is that it is always available on the side whenever you need it. It can run as an applet or an application, so you can choose which one is most convenient for you. The installation process is straightforward. All you need to do is extract the zip download with WinZip or a similar unzip utility into any directory you prefer, usually C:\, and tick off the user folder names option.
To run it as an application, type "java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\converter\converter.jar" and adjust it accordingly to where the jar file is. You can even run it online without installing it. Simply go to mindprod.com/applet/converter.html to access the tool.
Overall, I found Conversion Amanuensis to be a reliable and efficient conversion tool that makes Java coding a breeze. It is an excellent resource for anyone looking to simplify conversions in their Java code.
Version 5.5: tweaked some conversions involving Integer, Long and unsigned.
