The older deployment should be find an app based on a newer WO. However, I just remembered that the Java version has changed. Unless you can install a newer JVM, you will probably have to stick with WO 5.2 and a very old Wonder version. > Any good advice? Some (simple) steps I can follow?

Convert the project to Eclipse/WOLips. You will need to get WO 5.2 "installed" on your dev machine first. That will be a challenge unless your client has the install disks as it was license key protected back then. Your next step is to determine if a newer JVM can be installed. The answer to that will dictate your next steps.
