Spring Boot Migrator aims to automatically migrate existing applications to Spring Boot.
Spring Boot Migrator (SBM) scans and analyses a given codebase and offers a list of applicable recipes.
An engineer can now apply these recipes against the codebase and step-by-step migrate it to a Spring Boot application.
Nothing’s perfect… there are situations where manual interaction is required or architectural decisions must be made.
Here SBM adds comments at relevant locations in code with further guidance for the engineer.

The application to be migrated must meet these requirements:
-
Must ba a Maven project
-
Must follow Maven dir layout
-
Should have Git (be in a repo)
-
No Maven reactor support (only one pom.xml!)
-
Recent build with
mvn clean package
and target dir still exists
Your System must meet these requirements:
-
Java version 11+
-
Open a terminal in the directory where you downloaded
spring-boot-migrator.jar
to. -
Start the application with
java -jar spring-boot-migrator.jar
.
When the shell application started
-
Type
list
or justl
and pressEnter
to get the list of available recipes
Before recipes can be applied the target application must be scanned.
-
Type
scan <path-to-target-application>
and pressEnter
.
Now the sources of the target application get scanned. Depending on the size of the project this can take a while. The conditions for all recipes are checked against the scanned source code and the list of applicable recipes is shown.
To apply a recipe on the target application a recipe shown in the list of applicable recipes must be selected by name.
-
Type
apply <recipe-name>
and pressEnter
to apply a recipe.
The recipe is applied to the target application and changes are committed by sbm.
Caution
|
If resources are added, removed, changed or committed while SBM is running you must scan the target application again. |
A list of recipes to apply can be provided as file on startup.
-
Create a file
recipes.txt
which contains all commands:
scan <application-to-scan> apply recipe1 apply recipe2 exit
-
Run
java -jar spring-boot-migrator.jar @recipes.txt
The dir <application-to-scan>
is scanned, recipe 1 and 2 applied and SBM exits.
