Nobody plans to spend five years rebuilding software that already works.

It happens anyway. The app looks dated, the people who know the UI are retiring, someone needs it in a browser. Two options hit the table.

Rewrite it in a web framework: discard 20 years of working logic for a UI that looks current.

Jump to VS Code or Electron: also a rewrite, and now your Java team is outside its own ecosystem.

Both treat the codebase as the liability. It isn’t. The presentation layer is.

So that’s the only part we replace with Evolve. Drop-in renderer, your code untouched, and the same codebase can run in a browser.

No rewrite. Your code. Your JVM.

Our July newsletter is out:

On this update we share our experience at Java Forum Stuttgart 2026, the announcement of EWT — our new open source SDK for building native applications, a deep-dive on how NatTable renders in SWT Evolve, and reliability improvements to Equo Chromium.

[Equo @Equo_Dev]

NatTable, one of the toughest grids in the Eclipse RCP ecosystem, now runs on SWT Evolve.

Rendering, editing, sorting, and filtering intact, GPU-accelerated, all the way to the web.

No changes to your grid code, no rewrites required.

Our June update is here!

Equo Chromium v138 & v144 just got new fixes — security, Wayland, and multi-monitor improvements.

Tomorrow we'll be at our Java Forum Stuttgart booth, ready to modernize (and take to the web) your Eclipse RCP, SWT, or Swing app.

New In Equo: we're launching Equo Widget Toolkit (EWT)🚀

Modern, GPU-rendered UI for the JVM, without leaving Java, Kotlin, or Scala. Pairs with SWT Evolve for existing Eclipse RCP apps too.

Congrats to Mateo Rodon & Axel Orsingher on the launch!👏

[Sebastian Sampaoli @sebasampaoli]

Massive capital is wasted on rewrites. Don't throw away perfect Java logic for a modern UX or cloud; it’s just a rendering bottleneck.

July 9: Bring your code to Equo at Java Forum Stuttgart. We’ll modernize and web-enable your RCP/SWT app in 5 mins. 🚀

We're sponsoring Java Forum Stuttgart 2026!

On 9 July see how your mission-critical Eclipse RCP/SWT desktop applications can be instantly evolved: modern UX on desktop, or the same app running on the web.

No rewrite. No risk. Just your app, evolved.

See you in Stuttgart!

[Sebastian Sampaoli @sebasampaoli]

After talking to dozens of engineering teams at OCX in Brussels and customers in Germany, one thing is clear: the conversation around legacy software has fundamentally shifted. The future is about evolution, not replacement.

[Equo @Equo_Dev]

SWT Evolve promised instant modernization for Eclipse RCP applications.

At OCX 2026, real teams proved it with real applications: modern UI/UX and web-ready results in seconds, without rewrites.

This is the path forward.
