Hi,

I have a complete Swing application and am looking for an easy way to
bring it on to web so that anyone can open and run the application
through a browser.

Does GWT has the functionality to convert the existing Swing app to
web app or do i have to start from scratch?

Why not just use webstart?

2nd vote for webstart. Webstart is the answer.

GWT would make for an easier conversion path for a swing developer to
web development but i think that you have to have a pretty solid grasp
on the fundamentals (limitations and techniques) of web development to
produce effectively in GWT. There'd be no way to do a straight
conversion of a non trivial application.

There are 2 methods:

1. You can make your java swing application as applet, and add it to
the HTML pages.

2. There is a tool to convert automatically the Java Swing GUIs to the
WEB ones, but I don't remember the name ... I'll come back later!

Anyways, a very good Swing-ish GUI you can do with GWT, in Java ...and
the result is a javascript...
Check more GWT examples and tricks here: http://ui-programming.blogspot.com/

Cheers!

The tool is called AjaxSwing. Creamtec, I believe.
