We’re revamping Spring Boot Migrator. Read more here.

Spring Boot Migrator (SBM) aims to help developers upgrade or migrate to Spring Boot by providing recipes for automated migrations.

Support and Requirements

✅ Java, JDK 17 ✅ Maven ❌ Kotlin ❌ Gradle

Spring Boot 3.0 Upgrade - Interactive Web UI

Try the Spring Boot Upgrade Tool

ℹ️
Use JDK 17
  1. Download the spring-boot-upgrade.jar

  2. 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!

How SBM works

Spring Boot Migrator uses and is compatible with OpenRewrite, 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.

scan

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: 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

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

⚠️
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.
