There isn't any tool for this yet. You might be able to use gjdoc to
generate xml documentation from your Java sources and then use xslt to
convert the xml into .NET's xml documentation format, but I have no idea
how.

No, at least I don't know of any way to do it.

This is unlikely to ever happen.

I don't think you can do it directly (at the moment), but what I did was
create a few wrapper classes in C# that have all the required COM
attributes. This works very well and we (Sumatra) actually have a
shipping application that runs as a set of COM components that are
implemented for 99% in Java using IKVM.
