The question should be "why do you want to go away from java swing ?" What are the problems/limitations you encounter ? If there's no serious reasons to change, why change ? (well, there's the fun to rewrite all, the fun to learn technologies, but from a business standpoint, that's not reasonable)

One argument for going web is recruitment: the pool of active developers that know Java, Swing and Spring is shrinking.
Also, the size of the developer community in the Java/Swing world versus that in web technologies is not even comparable when it comes to sharing knowledge and open-source components. (I work for a lab, so many open-source licenses are compatible for us.)
And, sure... it would be so much fun!
