Java Security

Hello guys, a veri simple problem. I've been using a .NET class to encrypt a password, using this code:

With the input being cherry1559 the encoded result should be : ThwF22Izk/xfOjt6T+GYEQ==

I've been trying all google-available code but the result does not even come close.

Shared Function TripleDESEncode(ByVal value As String) As String
	    Dim key as String = "HG58YZ3CR9"
            Dim des As New System.Security.Cryptography.TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
            des.IV = New Byte(7) {}
            Dim pdb As New System.Security.Cryptography.PasswordDeriveBytes(key, New Byte(-1) {})
            des.Key = pdb.CryptDeriveKey("RC2", "MD5", 128, New Byte(7) {})
            Dim ms As New IO.MemoryStream((value.Length * 2) - 1)
            Dim encStream As New System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream(ms, des.CreateEncryptor(), System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStreamMode.Write)
            Dim plainBytes As Byte() = Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(value)
            encStream.Write(plainBytes, 0, plainBytes.Length)
            encStream.FlushFinalBlock()
            Dim encryptedBytes(CInt(ms.Length - 1)) As Byte
            ms.Position = 0
            ms.Read(encryptedBytes, 0, CInt(ms.Length))
            encStream.Close()
            Return Convert.ToBase64String(encryptedBytes)
End Function

This is the java code I'm using:

private String TestDES(String pass,int iteracion)
	{
	    Cipher ecipher;
        Cipher dcipher;
        
		try
		{
	        int iterationCount = iteracion;
	        String passPhrase = "HG58YZ3CR9";
   	        byte[] salt = {
	   	            (byte)0x0, (byte)0x0, (byte)0x33, (byte)0x34,
	   	            (byte)0x0, (byte)0x0, (byte)0x37, (byte)0x38
	   	        };
        	KeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec(passPhrase.toCharArray(), salt, iterationCount);
        	SecretKey key = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES").generateSecret(keySpec);
            ecipher = Cipher.getInstance(key.getAlgorithm());

    
            AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec = new PBEParameterSpec(salt, iterationCount);
            
            ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, paramSpec);
            
            byte[] utf8 = pass.getBytes("UTF8");


            byte[] enc = ecipher.doFinal(utf8);
            String paswordDes="";
            
            paswordDes=new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(enc);
            return paswordDes;
            
        }
        catch (java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException e) { System.out.println("Invalid Algorithm"); }
        catch (java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException e) { System.out.println("Invalid Key Spec"); }
        catch (javax.crypto.NoSuchPaddingException e) { System.out.println("No Such Padding"); }
        catch (java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("No Such Algorithm"); }
        catch (java.security.InvalidKeyException e) { System.out.println("Invalid Key"); }
        catch (BadPaddingException e) { System.out.println("Invalid Key");}
        catch (IllegalBlockSizeException e) { System.out.println("Invalid Key");}
        catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { System.out.println("Invalid Key");}
        
       
        return null;
	}

Any help fully appreciated!!
