Spring Boot Migrator (SBM) aims to help developers upgrade or migrate to https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot[Spring Boot] by providing recipes for automated migrations.


== Support and Requirements

✅ Java, JDK 17 ✅ Maven ❌ Kotlin ❌ Gradle

== Documentation

== Spring Boot 3.0 Upgrade - Interactive Web UI We are working on automated upgrade from Spring Boot 2.7 to Spring Boot 3.0.

=== Try the Spring Boot Upgrade Tool NOTE: Use JDK 17

. Download the https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-boot-migrator/releases/latest/download/spring-boot-upgrade.jar[spring-boot-upgrade.jar] . Run java -jar --add-opens java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED spring-boot-upgrade.jar <path-to-application>

If any of your applications is on 2.7 and uses Maven (Gradle is currently not supported), we'd be happy if you could give SBM a try and provide feedback of how it worked out. It is very hard to come up with all the possible setups found in the wild and therefor we need you - the community - to provide feedback to stabilize the recipe.

Thank you!

=== Contributing Any contribution is appreciated! If you want to get involved, please have a look at https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-boot-migrator/wiki/Spring-Boot-3-Upgrade-Report-Contribution-Guideline[Spring Boot 3 Upgrade Report Contribution Guideline] where we provide information related to contributing to the Spring Boot 3 Upgrade. Please don't hesitate to ask questions and provide feedback.

== How SBM works

Spring Boot Migrator uses and is compatible with https://github.com/openrewrite/rewrite[OpenRewrite,window=_blank], a powerful mass refactoring ecosystem for Java and other source code.

Spring Boot Migrator offers a CLI to run recipes to migrate or upgrade a given application to Spring Boot. For developing new and custom recipes, SBM provides an opinionated API compatible with OpenRewrite recipes and a set of specialized resource representations to simplify recipe development for Spring Boot.

=== Scan application A given codebase is scanned and a set of recipes gets evaluated against the codebase. +

image::images/scan.png[]

=== Apply a recipe The list of applicable recipes is displayed and recipes can be selected from the list to be run against the codebase. + The recipes either apply automated migrations or guide users on their migration journey.

== Spring Boot 3.0 Migrator - Java CLI

  • Download the latest release from here: https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-boot-migrator/releases/latest[Spring Boot Migrator Releases]
  • Start the application: java -jar spring-boot-migrator.jar
  • In the CLI start by scanning the application scan <path-to-application>
  • From the list of applicable recipes select the one you want to apply, + e.g.: apply initialize-spring-boot-migration + Spring Boot Migrator will now apply the migrations defined in the recipe to the codebase.
  • To get help when using SBM use the help command

NOTE: When using Windows you must either escape \ or use / as path separator, e.g. C:\\my\\app or C:/my/app

NOTE: SBM requires a JDK 17.

=== Building from source

  • Clone the repository
  • Change into root dir
  • Run mvn clean install
  • Find the jar in applications/spring-shell/target/spring-boot-migrator.jar

WARNING: Some integration tests use Docker so you'll need Docker to run them. + You can pass the -DskipTests flag to the mvn command to ignore tests.
