For the old BC5 I've developed a plugin to create new OWL/OWLnext applications. I have plans to migrate it into 'IDE explorer' wich allows to save the project as .cbproj (C++Builder) or .vcxproj (Visual Studio), and eventually all will be part of OWLMaker.
BETA 1! - Minor improvements in .IDE parsing. - Several bugfix when writing .cbproj - Opening a .vcxproj and saving as .cbproj looks good. Know issues: - Missing support for .c and .res when opening an .IDE. - RTF Edit Window incorrect margins. Enjoy! Your mileage may vary.
Update: - Project tree now starts expanded. - Improved code/project generation for .vcxproj - Improved code/project generation for .cbproj - Now it's possible to open a .cbproj and save as .vcxproj and viceversa.
Aproaching 'beta' release (but not yet!): -Opening .RTF in a .hpj project: work in progress - Opening an .IDE -> Save as MS Visual Project, work in progress.

Minor update: - .HPJ project parsing working. Know issues: - Opening a .rtf files it's not implemented. - The project tree starts collapsed. I'm heading to a trade show (as exhibitor), so my personal time will be very limited.
BTW something like ten years ago I did a GUID scanner to trying to identify all the COM objects that the BC5.exe served, it was an IDE plugin and the idea was manage the AppExperts and others, but that method taked too much time with no practical results, some day I will use IDA to try another aproach, ah and that code also was lost Actually it was 20 years ago and I was able to locate it on an old backup (not sure if the latest version). Enjoy!
