Depends on how heavily it depends on those components. I quickly had a look
and it uses a proprietary parsergenerator and proprietary GUI. If you can't
recycle both parser and gui, then what can you recycle?

Afaik you can't even legally build that project without having all
components licensed. Toolbar2000 is GPL when used in the free edition,
JCL/JVCL is MPL which is GPL incompatible.

Note that all this doesn't make it impossible, but it will be very
non-trivial.
