Windup is changing the face and content in parallel, so if you know about or not we have now Red Hat Migration Toolkit presentation on Red Hat Application Migration Toolkit Overview | Red Hat Developers  site which is the new face for the bundle. We use RHAMT acronym or shortcut for that, but inside it is still the tuned Windup .

Current 6+ months of team work resulted in 4.0.0.Beta4 containing new cloud-readiness rules which helps to identify if you application can run in cloud environment smoothly or if it needs some love to modernize it for cloud world. We also enhanced and fixed some issues in existing rulesets.

What is more important our Eclipse RHAMT plugin is adding more features to assist user who migrates or just analyze future migration on existing project sources. Let me say that there is ruleset editor in early stage and some small but important fixes/enhancements in RHAMT perspective layout.

Not to forget on our new child - RHAMT Web Console which embeds core functionality into Angular 4 based front end UI application. The Web console is able to be deployable into cloud environment Openshift v3 and have all functionality like RHAMT command line tool. The Web Console allows to work on your migration analysis toolkit into team collaboration.

Please get it while it is hot and let us know what you like/dislike in RHAMT.

On behalf of the whole Windup team

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

Windup (JBoss Migration Toolkit) 2.7.0 is now available on the Windup website Download | Windup Migration Platform, with new rules for the EAP 5 to 7 migration path!

To analyze an EAP 5 application for migration to EAP 7:

(Note the new syntax for specifying versions of the source and target technologies.) Any feedback on the new rule set would be greatly appreciated.
