After next months of hard work, we're pleased to announce the first candidate release of the Windup Eclipse Plugin, which aims to make application migrations and upgrades faster and easier by bringing Windup's migration assistance into the Eclipse IDE.

The Windup plugin marks migration issues in application code, provides help to fix issues, and offers automated code replacement where a rule provides it.

We're in need of test users to let us know how we can improve the plugin and what features are important to add. If you're involved in a migration project, we would really appreciate it if you could try it out and give us your feedback.

You can install the plugin into Eclipse Neon or JBoss Developer Studio 10.x by following the instructions here: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/windup/windup-documentation/blob/master/docs/windup-plugin-guide/windup-eclipse-plugin-guide-early-access.html
