title: PHP to Java (using PtoJ)
body: <p>I would like to transition our codebase from poorly written PHP code to poorly written Java, since I believe Java code is easier to tidy up. What are the pros and cons, and for those who have done it yourselves, would you recommend <a href="http://www.numiton.com/products/ntile-ptoj/ptoj-overview.html" rel="noreferrer">PtoJ</a> for a project of about 300k ugly lines of code? Tips and tricks are most welcome; thanks!</p>
