Chris, there used to be an Apple program for converting WO4x Obj-C to WO5 Java. This is certainly still around and I do have it on an old installer. This would give you quite a start. You could then work with your converted existing code base and fix any old style things and incorporate Wonder. Depending on the size of your projects and the amount of code this might be the easiest way to go. I know it works because some years ago I have converted a large application.
