I've never used visual cafe, so caveat. I would say that it's going to be
a rewrite, unless someone has made a script to translate VC boilerplate
into Swing widgets.
By converting to Swing, the app will become accessible to anyone with a
version 1.2 or later JVM. Code clarity, on the other hand, is in the
hands of the coder.
