Why migrate to Java?

Oracle is also committed to the Java™ language as its preferred development direction, as demonstrated by the increasing weight it is putting behind its JDeveloper Java IDE and its ADF Java environment, and its support under ADF for Swing. Meanwhile Oracle has withdrawn support from popular and widely deployed versions of Forms such as Forms 6i, while offering no straightforward upgrade path to the current Forms 10g.

Java is also:

• free (so you can develop and deploy it using without paying licence fees);
• platform independent (so you can run it on your preferred hardware);
• the main language taught in higher education today (producing a new generation of skilled Java professionals);
• suitable for both 'enterprise' (J2EE) and client-server (J2SE) architectures;
• the ideal language for high-end internet applications and component-based software development.

This all makes Java the language of choice for the future. There is only one big problem - how to get there without laboriously rewriting all your organization's software, over a period of many years and at huge cost? This is where Quintessence Systems can help, by providing fast, reliable and 100% automated migration of your existing Oracle code (Forms, Reports or PL/SQL) into Java, ready for immediate deployment to a J2SE / Swing platform.
