Re: RPG to Java conversion

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Databorough - the X-Analysis folks, now with Fresche Legacy - had 
something that would derive business rules and provide a degree of 
refactoring into Java - might be worth a look, although my memory might 
be off - it's been maybe 10 years since looking at it.

But they were trying to move it to Java. They had a converter, but the Java it produced looked a lot more like RPG than Java. I think if you want to move an application to Java, your best bet is to rewrite. But maybe Infor has the converter.
