Smooth transition to Eclipse in practice

The document summarizes the Deutsche Bausparkasse Badenia AG's project to migrate their existing Visual Basic document management system (BADOK) to a new system built with Eclipse and Java (jBadok). It describes their initial VB system, why they chose Eclipse, their mixed team methodology, the new 3-tier architecture with a Java RCP client, lessons learned including the challenges of integrating the new system with the existing VB application, and benefits like improved testing and a more modularized system.
