Migrating J2EE projects

The J2EE Migration Wizard has been updated in Rational® Application Developer V6.0 to migrate J2EE projects to the J2EE 1.4 specification level. The J2EE Migration Wizard supports the migration from both the J2EE 1.2 and 1.3 specifications to the J2EE 1.4 specification level for all J2EE module types.

Refer to J2EE 1.3 to 1.4 specification level migration and J2EE 1.2 to 1.4 specification level migration for details on the migration of J2EE 1.3 and 1.2 specification level artifacts to J2EE 1.4 specification level.

Note: Before using the J2EE Migration Wizard, it is strongly recommended that you take the following steps:
  • Backup your entire workspace.
  • If you are working with a shared repository, check out or lock all corresponding projects.

The J2EE Migration Wizard can be accessed as follows:

  1. In the J2EE Hierarchy view of the J2EE perspective, right-click the enterprise application project that you want to migrate.
  2. Select Migrate > J2EE Migration Wizard from the pop-up menu.
  3. Follow the instructions on the J2EE Migration Wizard Welcome Page before proceeding with the migration process.
Note: Refer to the online help for full details on using the J2EE Migration Wizard. Changes to the wizard are described in Changes in the J2EE Migration Wizard in Rational Application Developer V6.0.

Refer to J2EE 1.3 to 1.4 specification level migration and J2EE 1.2 to 1.4 specification level migration for details on the changes to J2EE 1.3 and 1.2 specification level artifacts when they are migrated to J2EE 1.4.
