>I'm currently working for Galileo Genomics inc, they just hire a new IT director that want to change all Visual FoxPro developepement to JAVA (J2EE).

Well, did he provide justification as to know why he wants a change? I've seen people changing the entire application infrastructure when they were hired where everything was working ok without any need to change anything, but just because it was a personal preference. This is what is extremely dangerous when someone with such a power thinks like that.
