Porting Visual Works to Pharo

Maybe this question is out of the scope of this list, but probably someone can help :).
As described in some threads, I want to use what's described in: http://scg.unibe.ch/wiki/howtos/portingfromvisualworkstosqueak

But when I try to load FileOut30 It doesn't load the Squeak Compatibility classes because it seems I lack the refactoring browser. I've already tried to load some Refactoring Browser from different stores, but it screws my image :).

I'm using the community edition of Visual works in windowze.

Can someone point me in the right direction? (Let's say I'm not very used to VisualWorks)

Thanks!
Guille

Re: Porting Visual Works to Pharo

I have used SIF to move a lot of code from Dolphin to Pharo. Attached is the most recent version I have seen. In some cases, I heavily edited the .sif (text) after export and before import.

Be sure to make backups and go for it.

Hi Guillermo,

When I sync differences of Aida from VisualWorks to Pharo, I do this way:

Preparation:

- parcel FileOut30 loaded
- Settings->Source Default fileout type: VW3.0 compatible source code
(NOT Squeak!)

Procedure:

- VW: From Store version browser: Fileout differences
to file MyPackage-diffs.st
- Pharo: in File browser find above file and click button Code
- manually sync differences or open new class definitions
- manually delete removed methods
- fileIn categories or individual changed methods

This is syncing differences, but porting a whole package is similar,
just fileout a while package instead of differences.

Not completely automatic as you see, but with a bit of patience doable
in not too long amount of time.

Best regards
Janko

VisualWorks has Monticello support. It should be possible to read and
write Monticello packages directly from VisualWorks, at least this is
what they do for Seaside. Better ask in a VisualWorks list on how to
do it.

Yeap!!! Thanks a lot Janko!! It worked :). I was selecting Squeak in the settings, not VW 3.0!!
