Hi all,

Because of a limitation with Weblogic 8.1, we had to develop our project with the J2EE 1.3 spec and setting in MyEclipse. Now, as we move to Weblogic 9.2, we would like to upgrade our project to J2EE 1.4, and Java 5. What’s the best way to do this?

Thanks,

Don

Don,
It’s a manual process. MyEclipse won’t automate this process for you, but if you have already changed out all the libraries yourself (e.g. remove the J2EE 1.3 Library Set, and add the J2EE 1.4 Library set to build path) and you just want MyEclipse to “know” it’s a 1.4 project, you can edit the .mymetadata file and change the j2ee-spec variable to 1.4:

j2ee-spec="1.4"

is this still manual?

[Riyad Kalla]

Yes. We don’t normally automate entire spec or library changes to projects because every project is so different it’s just asking for trouble. There is an implicit barrier to entry requiring developer interaction when upgrading a project like this manually that the idea is they know what they are doing when they do it.
