I don't have too much information on what they are using. I do know
that many of their systems run on mainframes and are based on Natural
and Adabas.

As for the port itself, they will do it. They were already doing some
application rewritting (before free software) to J2EE. That's the
platform they want to use, especially because they have the fear that
in the next election of the other another government will come and
will change this recommendation and they'll have to rework everything
again. With J2EE, they will at least be able to move to another
platform easily if this happens. It'd be nonsense to order them to
redo the whole thing again, but unfortunately governments are not
logical. And this sort of thing *do* happen. :-/
