PBJava is a tool that understands your PowerBuilder application and converts it to a Java web application that uses frameworks such as Maven, Spring, Angular, CSS, and Typescript.
This tool has the ability to process the source code to generate Java, Angular, HTML, and CSS files. This Java web application can then be deployed in a Tomcat server with common standards of security, navigation, database interactions, and support when extending.
Instead of manually rewriting an entire application, we help you by automating this process using PBJava. This reduces costs, risks and time, while keeping the existing business logic intact.
For more details you can go to our website or check our documentation at https://docs.mobilize.net/
This repo contains the source code and binaries for the PBJavaHelloWorld app.
This app is just shows a Powerbuilder Window with a datawindow that implements a simple todo list.
The sample was migrated with our tools to a Spring Java application with an Angular FrontEnd.

If you want to build this app:
- BackEnd: you can use the
./build.ps1or./build.shscripts - FrontEnd: you can use the
./buildFrontEnd.ps1or./buildFrontEnd.sh
When you migrate your app from Powerbuilder to Java you will have 3 main folders:
- WebApp
- Target
- ReferenceApplication
For an overview of the migrated code see Migrated Code Overview
Angular FrontEnd is inside this folder.
This folder is structured as:
- WebApp\sampleSite\sampleSite-angular
- src
- app
- components\sample
- d_sample_list
- w_sample
- components\sample
- app
- wwwroot (this is generated after Angular Compilation)
- src
The migrated powerbuilder code to java is inside this folder.
The project to generate the WAR is here.
