Agree with Markus. I would be tempted by Andrus approach but that means you have to rewrite the applications entirely.
We used in the past the Obj-C/java converter and it does a lot. We even transform Openstep applications to Java client and reused the Nib files !! You could take a couple of days and see the results with one application or framework. If your applications share several common frameworks, it's worth a try. If they are all different, I would consider redeveloping from the ground.
