One thing I picked up at Summit was that whilst people really
appreciate the migration guides, they also want more advice on when (/whether) they should
migrate, and what they should migrate too. We have the story pretty much sorted:
* if you have an app that works, and you want to keep running it on Seam 2.2, then great.
We'll support that for X more years on EAP. Stay where you are.
* if you want to stay on Seam 2, but want to take advantage of the new features of Java
EE 6, then you can take a look at Seam 2.3, which is currently beta quality. We
haven't decided yet whether this will enter the supported product arena.
* if you want to take advantage of Java EE, you need to do a bit of analysis of your
app:
** if you have all the features you need in Java EE 6 (and look at TicketMonster, you can
achieve a lot!) then migrate to Java EE 6
** if you don't, but you can find them in DeltaSpike, and like living on the edge,
then you can take the path of adding DeltaSpike to Java EE 6. But we don't have a well
trodden path here, with guides for you to follow
** otherwise, take a look at the jdf roadmap to see when the features you need will enter
jdf, will all the goodness of the stack and guides
Comments? I'll get this written up for
http://www.jboss.org/jdf/migrations/get-started/ next week.
