Pablo, Very good idea!. I guess you are going to use Java to Re-write the CFML Tags and use Java Swing Components for Presentation? Idea sounds good.. and a lot of work.
Drawbacks..(Just my thoughts) 1. You are moving from N-Tier Technology to client-server. 2. If you are targeting small/mid level customers.. you might as well write JSP and run it on a Reference Implementation(Tomcat). 3. Swing Components are not easy to work with. 4. Everytime you make an update to your code.. you will end up doing installations... Isnt this why we prefer thin client? 5. Is development of this tool going to be cheap? Good Java Swing Talent is expensive. If you can sell it for all the above hassle.. its defnitely worth it.
