AWS – Amazon Q Developer launches Java upgrade selective transformation in CLI (Preview)

Amazon Q Developer transformation capabilities now support customization of Java upgrades in Java upgrade transformation CLI (command line interface) with a new selective transformation feature. Using this feature, you can use natural language chat and/or an input file to tailor transformation plans and exercise greater control over Java upgrades. The following options are supported:

• Selection of steps from a transformation plan and breakdown of a transformation job for granular code reviews
• For first-party and third-party dependencies, the libraries and their versions you would like Q Developer to upgrade during JDK version upgrades

Amazon Q Developer Java upgrade capabilities now have been tested to offer enhanced transformation success rates, reducing the manual effort needed to complete your software modernization tasks.

The selective transformation feature for Java upgrades is available in the command line, on Linux and MacOS. To learn more and get started, please visit the documentation page.
