sts 3.0 migrate after startup

[elukaweski]

If I cancel the migration suggestion when starting a new workspace in sts 3.0.0, how can I affect this migration manually, after this initial startup?

thanks

Select a project that needs to be migrated (eg- a Roo or Grails project) right-click -> Configure -> Migrate legacy STS projects...

Note that this will migrate all projects, not just the one that is selected. Let me know if this works for you.

thanks for the reply. Looks like migration is only necessary for Grails and Roo projects. is that true?

Also, is there a way to tell if a project has been migrated? I tried the above on a Roo project, but the menu item did not appear. Maybe I already migrated?

Thanks

In general, if the project is compiling and running cleanly, then it has already been migrated. Migration doesn't do anything magical. It just goes into the .project, .classpath, and .settings folders and replaces all the com.springsource.* with appropriate org.springframework.* or org.grails.*.

I'm not sure if there's anything necessary for vanilla spring projects, but I would say that if the project is running, then it does not need to be migrated.
