Abstract

A legacy machine-oriented language interface definition is received of a new module to be implemented, using an object-oriented language, to provide a new feature within a legacy machine-oriented language application that is executable within a legacy application execution platform. An object-oriented class definition and bridging code that interfaces the object-oriented class definition to the legacy machine-oriented language interface definition are generated. An updated version of the object-oriented class definition is received that includes object-oriented code that implements functionality of the new feature within the new module. A new executable version of the legacy machine-oriented language application is built. The new executable version of the legacy machine-oriented language application is executable within the legacy application execution platform, and includes the new module as a new object accessible using the legacy machine-oriented language interface definition with the functionality of the new feature as implemented by the object-oriented code.
