Hi Nitin,

Brett Swaim did a presentation on his experience and what he found were the steps that worked best at the NAS 2016. I've never tried to share material before -- but can you try this link to get the presentation he made:

if it doesn't work, let me know.

Hey Samuel,

I also heard at the conference that there was going to be an upgrade tool built into the Liferay IDE coming. Do you know if there is an ETA on when that should be arriving?

Hi Andrew,

If you mean the breaking changes uprgade tool when you say "upgrade tool", please download the Liferay IDE because the tool is already included:

Hi Alberto,

When you say "breaking changes" are you referring to the tool that reviews your source code and notifies you of APIs that your existing plugin uses that are no longer part of the latest version (basically API breaks)? If so, I wasn't referring to that feature (although it is very helpful). Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought that there was a tool coming that was going to help migrate projects from a 6.2 structure to a 7.0 structure -- so for example change a one project portlet into a 2 project client and web structure, take the lines from a portlet.xml and set them as annotations on the portlet class, etc.

Was this a dream I had?

Hi Andrew

Unfortunately, I don't know. But you might have better luck asking your question in the IDE category. The guys monitoring that category might have a better idea.

Hi Andrew,

Yes, I meant that tool which checks the API.

Was this a dream I had?

hahhahaha, I don't think so, probably you have really good information since you went to the talk. Please, follow the Samuel's suggestion so that IDE's team can answer you.

Thanks!!
