Migrating from IFC to JFC

Netscape wants to help developers migrate as quickly as possible from the IFC to the JFC.  The first step is ensuring that the features that IFC developers have come to depend on are available in JFC.  The following chart shows the status of those features As we move forward in this process we are looking to developers for feedback on the sort of tools they feel they require.  Possibilities include automatic source translation tools, API compatibility classes, and detailed documentation.

JavaSoft and Netscape will also jointly host a porting camp to assist developers.  This will be staffed by IFC engineers to answer questions and help developers in their efforts.  Additionally we will be providing online support for developers to ask further questions as they finish moving their code from IFC to JFC.
