Hi,
we have a large standalone Java/Swing application that run on Linux. The application is written in standard Java, it isheavily multi-threaded and uses Swing for the GUI. Given the recent development of tools that can cross-compile Java to iOS (CodeNameOne, Oracle's MAF, etc.), our company is considering leveraging our existing application (and years of experience with it) and porting it to an iPad platform.
Has anyone done such an effort? Is this even possible? Can MAF help with this? I don't expect this to be a press of a button and be up and running on iOS, but I'd like to know what are the paint points and areas that may prove to be challenging (short of a complete re-write). For example, will we be able to salvage our Swing GUI with MAF, or will this be a complete re-write?
Thanks for your responses in advance.
