Inhaltsangabe

Although Java and Smalltalk share some vitalcharacteristics there are certainly also importantdifferences.The objective of the SICS Java Port Project is tocreate tools and methodology to translate a largesoftware application from IBM VisualAge forSmalltalk to Java. My main motivation for thisbook is to present some of the major technicalissues we have encountered as part of translation,present alternatives and the solution we chose.Each problem will be briefly demonstrated, followedby a short discussion. Then we give our chosensolution and a brief demonstration of the results.In ourconcrete project, the approach has been highlysuccessful. We have found ways to overcome the mostimportant language differences.Although it is impossible to directly apply theexperiences of this project to other Smalltalksystems, the results should be promising for otherswith a similar challenge at hand. Hopefully thereader will find the discussions relevant, and ifnot immediately reusable, at least serve asinspiration for developing custom solutions of theirown.
