Hi,

I have a straight dynamic web project created with M8. Can M8 projects
be used with M9 or do I need recreate from scratch? I tried just
importing the project however that does not seem to work. I don't see
any errors however the application is not available when Tomcat is started.

TIA!

Yes, WTP 1.0M8 projects can be migrated to M9. Here's what I've discovered
so far:
* The ".deployables" folder has been eliminated. New projects default to
compile Java classes in the "build/classes" folder.
* The ".wtpmodules" file has been replaced by the ".settings/.component"
file. If using CVS, "old" projects will be updated to use
".settings/.component" when checking out source code.
* Dynamic Web Projects that had two or more web modules appear to be
"broken" by version M9. Specifically, when checking out an existing
project that has multiple modules, WTP 1.0M9 attempt to make one module
per Dynamic Web Project - however this does not consistently work.

Can someone else can share their notes on upgrading?

Seeing these changes - I wasn't able to find release notes for M9, could somebody help me with this? And more importantly could anybody answer the migration-part of the question? I mean what is the proper way to update, after all .deployables (finally!) seems to be deleted..

When checking out projects built with WTP 0.7 or WTP 1.0M8 from CVS into
WTP 1.0M9, the ".wtpmodules" file will automatically be replaced by the
".settings/.component" file. You may have to make manual modifications
(essentially, copying the contents of the old ".wtpmodules" to the
".component" file). If you are not using CVS, you could try exporting
the project from your WTP 0.7 or WTP 1.0M8 platform then import into the
WTP 1.0M9 platform. I don't know if this will work - but it's worth a try!
