Many enterprises rely on the Eclipse IDE and its underlying technologies to develop their applications and products. However, mastering the "Target Platform" presents significant challenges, as revealed by extensive field feedback. Migrating to a new Eclipse target platform, which may be necessary every three months, poses considerable risks and complexities for technical teams. In this 35-minute talk, we will draw on real-world experiences to guide you through the migration process with confidence and success. This session will cover the critical aspects of target platform migrations, emphasizing the resolution of security vulnerabilities through library upgrades, transitioning from javax to jakarta namespaces, and adapting to API changes,... The presentation aims to equip you with practical solutions, a comprehensive checklist for each migration, and reliable information sources. I will summarize the various issues encountered during multiple migrations requested by my clients and propose ideas for improvements to simplify future migrations. Attendees should have a basic understanding of software development and familiarity with their current Eclipse IDE platform's architecture. Prior experience with migration projects or platform updates will be beneficial, particularly for sharing experiences during the Q&A session.
