Michael, Thank you for your reply, and this is exactly the information I was looking for. I am taking a project that was developed in NetBeans 12 and migrating over to 20. This is the first or second time I have used NetBeans, and It looked like there were NetBean specific files (e.g. project.properties) related to the settings of the project preventing me from changing the project type from Java EE to Jakarta EE only in the IDE. In newer versions of NetBeans it looks like each project has its own nb-configuration.xml with this statement in the file:
<org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_j2eeVersion>10-web</org-netbeans-modules-maven-j2ee.netbeans_2e_hint_2e_j2eeVersion> I used the transformer in the link you shared before, and it didn’t appear to migrate the settings for the project in the IDE to Jakarta EE. Again, I realize there are several changes that need to be made in the code as well as dependencies, but my question was specific to the IDE settings for the project.

Hi, NB 20 (you are using NB 10?!) has the jakarta transformer integrated which might assist somewhat with the migration: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5847 but if your project is still at J2EE 1.5 level, this certainly won't be possible in one step. It might be best to migrate it to the "latest" J2EE version first, then continue till it works with Jakarta EE 8 and then finally make the namespace change to Jakarta EE 10+. I suppose your project is also still using Ant, given how old J2EE 1.5 is, this might have to be moved to maven too to simplify migration. (btw this all doesn't really have anything to do with NetBeans versions, its more about how to migrate enterprise applications) -mbien On 16.12.23 00:03, William Crowell wrote: I understand that, but what would you need to do only in the IDE? I get there are namespace changes and all. ________________________________ From: Geertjan Wielenga <geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com.INVALID><mailto:geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com.INVALID> Sent: Friday, December 15, 2023 5:51:44 PM To: William Crowell <wcrow...@perforce.com.invalid><mailto:wcrow...@perforce.com.invalid> Cc: users@netbeans.apache.org<mailto:users@netbeans.apache.org> <users@netbeans.apache.org><mailto:users@netbeans.apache.org> Subject: Re: Is there documentation for migrating projects from a previous version of NetBeans to NetBeans 20? I think there’s quite a bit more involved in migrating to Jakarta EE than looking for a property switch in NetBeans.

I am trying to migrate an application from Java EE to Jakarta EE 10. For some reason in NetBeans 10 I cannot switch from Java EE to Jakarta EE in the project properties. The project has a nbproject/project.properties which has the following: j2ee.platform=1.5 Is this a NetBeans specified file and how would I get the project in NetBeans switched over to Jakarta EE 10?

Just open the project, documentation should not be needed for this.
