RHAMT is an application migration and assessment tool. The migrations supported include application platform upgrades, migrations to a cloud-native deployment environment, and also migrations from several commercial products to the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.

It is now available through JBoss Central, and from the update site here.

RHAMT is an automated application migration and assessment tool.

Example ways to RHAMT up your code:

An example of how to run the RHAMT CLI:

$ ./rhamt-cli --input /path/to/jee-example-app-1.0.0.ear --output /path/to/output --source weblogic --target eap:7

The output is a report used to assess and prioritize migration and modernization efforts.

Consider an application migration comprised of thousands of files, with a myriad of small changes, not to mention the tediousness of switching between the report and your IDE. Who wants to be the engineer assigned to that task? :) Instead, this tooling marks the source files containing issues, making it easy to organize, search, and in many cases automatically fix issues using quick fixes.

Let me give you a quick walkthrough.

Windup is a command line tool used to aid the process of migrating Java applications. Here’s a few examples:

And here’s an example of how you’d run Windup using the CLI:

$ ./windup --input /path/to/jee-example-app-1.0.0.ear --output /path/to/output --source weblogic --target eap:7

The output of running Windup from the command line is an HTML report, which can then be used to help analyze how much effort the migration will take, as well as provide assistance with solving the individual problems.

As previously mentioned, the output of running Windup from the command line is an HTML report, which is not very useful for the engineer responsible for making the changes in the code.

That’s where the Eclipse plugins come into play. Once you’ve run Windup from within the IDE, all the source files needing to be changed will be automatically marked, and can be easily organized, searched, and in many cases, fixed using quick fixes.

Let me give you a quick walkthrough of some of the key components. You can find more detailed information here.

Here is a short video which demonstrates the basic usage:

We are trying our best to make the Windup tooling as good as possible. Users' feedback is what we are seeking for now. We are looking forward to hearing your comments / remarks!

Have fun!
