Hello Team,
Until recently, my company had "outsource its application development" to
a software editor company, which developed using VB.net and VStudio.net.
Because of failure to foresee the necessity of a modular architecture at
both sides, the application has to be mostly developed again (otherwise is
too difficult to deploy and integrate in legacy environments.
My company has now decided to develop -at least the core of the
application in house therefore confronted to the decision on whether use:
- Java/Eclipse multiple platforms or
- VB/VS.net
which translate on:
- create a team of Java/Eclipse developers or
- create a team of VB/VS.net (eventually hiring those who developed in the
first place)
I'm strongly in favour of using Java/Eclipse but, since there's already
this relationship based in VB/VS.net. I know I have to make sure I have
strong case in favour of Eclipse.
Can anyone advice me on how to make my case against VB/VS.net?
Can anyone help me to prove that committing to java/Eclipse is a better
strategic decision?
I do appreciate your help and support.
Jorge

Many thanks for your help.

This is a medical application managing clinical procedures (back office
work flow management and reporting) on patients.
-- It's a desktop based. (most competition is Browser based). We are
considering the posibility of switching to Browser based
-- Client-Server. MS SQL-Server (I don't know whether they use JET or ODBC
to connect)
-- I don't know how were developed or if re-writing needed.
-- Connecting to telephone systems to extend reach into user cellphones is
already developed.

Hi,
another thing to consider:
Using RCP you would be able aftwards to run the same application on the
web without the need to rewrite the whole application.
Take a look at the "Rich Ajax Platform" (RAP) at http://www.eclipse.org/rap
