1.2. About the Migration Toolkit for Runtimes
What is the Migration Toolkit for Runtimes?
The Migration Toolkit for Runtimes (MTR) is an extensible and customizable rule-based tool that simplifies the migration and modernization of Java applications.
MTR examines application artifacts, including project source directories and application archives, and then produces an HTML report highlighting areas needing changes. MTR supports many migration paths, including the following examples:
- Upgrading to the latest release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
- Migrating from Oracle WebLogic or IBM WebSphere Application Server to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
- Containerizing applications and making them cloud-ready
- Migrating from Java Spring Boot to Quarkus
- Updating from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK
- Upgrading from OpenJDK 8 to OpenJDK 11
- Upgrading from OpenJDK 11 to OpenJDK 17
- Upgrading from OpenJDK 17 to OpenJDK 21
- Migrating EAP Java applications to Azure
- Migrating Spring Boot Java applications to Azure
For more information about use cases and migration paths, see the MTR for developers web page.
How does the Migration Toolkit for Runtimes simplify migration?
The Migration Toolkit for Runtimes looks for common resources and known trouble spots when migrating applications. It provides a high-level view of the technologies used by the application.
