Thanks for all your comments.
Our Company was taken over and are pushing towards a J2EE architecture. For some reason VFP seems to have a bad name from those that don't know much about it. I think half the reason is that people can't separate the language from the data. They don't seem to understand that Foxpro is very good being used as a front end for SQL Server or Oracle backend databases.
There does seem to be a lot more vacancies for Java programmer's (in the UK) over VFP, but maybe it's different in the States.
Possibly Microsoft don't publicise the advantages of Foxpro, but maybe that's the idea.
I think, as one contributer mentioned, I'd have to rewrite the Foxpro objects as COM objects and possibly call them from Java. But if I have to do that I might as well write the lot in Java to start off with.
