ADM-Based Migration from JAVA Swing to RIA Applications

Companies are investing a lot of resources and effort for migrating their legacy applications and adapting them with the rapid technological changes. For this reason, the authors are interested in the modernization of desktop applications developed in Java Swing to Web 2.0 applications. Therefore, an ADM approach is applied in order to develop a tool named FlexMigration allowing automatic reverse engineering of Swing GUI to obtain a RIA GUI. The usefulness of this tool is the automation of the migration process with the extraction of the actions encapsulated in possible anonymous classes. As an illustration, they present along this paper a reengineering of a small legacy chat application. The authors explain its migration process to generate a similar Flex Graphical User Interface.
