Migration wizard for old GUI Builder projects

[Tom Tantisalidchai]

Hi,

I can't find the migration wizard mentioned in this article https://www.codenameone.com/blog/using-the-new-gui-builder.html I've already searched in Codename One menu, Codename One Settings, and also in the old GUI builder. Can someone please help?

Thanks.

Tom

Hi,
it's available in the old NetBeans preferences UI I'm not sure it made it to Eclipse and it was never mapped in IntelliJ.

You can use it from command line with the designer tool:

The syntax is roughly this:
java designer.jar mig projectDirectoryToMigrate

Thanks Shai.

Possibly useful for others, the exact syntax I use on Mac is

  java -jar /Users/yourname/.codenameone/designer_1.jar mig /path/to/project /path/to/theme.res com.your.destination.package

Thanks. is 

/path/to/project  for your old project or the new one?; also /path/to/theme.res -- is it the new or old project?

It doesn't create a new project so you should backup everything. It will migrate everything within the same project.
