Swing usage in Fortune 500 companies



Does anybody have an opinion on how widely Swing apps are accepted in
Fortune 500 companies? My client -- a small IT secruity outfit, is
considering revamping their flagship product, a Swing application with a SQL
Server backend.

They're questioning whether it makes sense to continue developing the
existing Swing app -- possibly provisioning it via WebStart, or, to bite the
bullet and develop a full-fledged J2EE app. They have the idea that thick
clients are a hard-sell -- or even automatically rejected, at certain
companies.

Has anybody else come across a thick-client ban?

Any opinions would be much appreciated ...
