VisualAge migration [message #112760] Thu, 08 December 2005 18:16 Go to next message

We have maybe 200,000 lines of code in VisualAge, much of it generated by
the Visual Composition editor. We are now migrating to Eclipse. We develop a
commercial application product.

This seems to work OK, but we use the VAJ 'Use one inner class for all
events' style. This seems to be intepreted OK by eclipse, but as we develop
in eclipse it seems to only generate the 'Use an inner class for each event'
style.

It therefore seems advaantageous for future maintenance to keep a single
style, and first regenerate all Java code by first changing the VAJ option
to 'Use an inner class for each event'. We have maybe 50 beans which would
need regeneration.

Does this make sense and is it recommended? I have found very little on
hints and tips for migration from VAJ, but I am sure a lot of people have
thought hard about this process and have hard won experiences.

I don't recommend it. It sounds like it would be the best way, but we
found there was a bug in VA Java when trying to that regeneration. I
would say just leave it alone and as you go forward use more and more of
the new style.

Thanks. I was a little nervous about regenerating under a different style
myself.
