Abstract
An exemplary upgrade module includes an upgrade wizard component, an upgrade analyzer component, and a source analyzer component wherein the upgrade wizard component operates in conjunction with an IDE to facilitate migration of source code or a project to the IDE or a runtime engine and/or OS associated with the IDE. An exemplary method includes selecting a source code or project written in a programming language associated with a native compiler that targets a native runtime engine, analyzing the code or project and then upgrading the code or project based on the analyzing such that the resulting upgraded code or project can compile on a foreign compiler and target a foreign runtime engine. According to such an exemplary method, the upgrade or migration optionally occurs without modifying the selected source code. Other exemplary methods, devices and/or systems are also disclosed.
