Migrate legacy swing to web



I'm looking at a legacy swing GUI system with around a hundred windows and dialogs. User wants to view it on the web through a browser.

Possible approaches I have thought of:
1) Use a commercial swing-like framework that is web-enabled.
2) Manually convert every Frame to an applet.
3) Tell the user to start over with a new system designed to be web-enabled from the ground up. J2EE compliance at the same time would be a bonus.

Thoughts? Have I missed something easy and obvious?

Respectfully,

Brian P.
