Migrating workspaces and projects from version 9.1.x or version 9.0.x
This topic describes the steps for migrating projects that
you developed in version 9.1.x or version 9.0.x so that you
can continue to work with them in the current version or the product.
Before you begin
Before you migrate your projects, do the following things:
- Read Migration overview and Compatibility with version 9.1.x and version 9.0.x.
- Make a copy of your version 9.1.x or version 9.0.x workspace.
About this task
Procedure
What to do next
Depending on the projects in your workspace and the version
that you are migrating from, you might need to perform additional
steps to complete the migration of your projects.
Note:
- Some workspace perspectives that were available in earlier versions
might not be available in version 9.5.x. (For example,
the J2EE perspective from version 7.0.x is replaced by the Java EE
perspective in later versions.) However, you might still see an icon
for old perspective in the top-left corner of the version 9.5.x workspace.
If you click the icon, you will get the following error message: Could
not restore workbench layout. Reason: Problems occurred restoring
workbench.
If this happens, close the perspective (
). - Some views that were available in earlier versions might not be available in the current version. For example, you might not have not installed the same features or extensions in your current workbench. In these cases, the first time that you open your previous workspace in version 9.5.x or switch to a perspective that used the view that is not available, you will get the following error message: Could not restore workbench layout. Reason: Problems occurred restoring perspective. The details section of the error message window will have one or more messages starting with the text Could not find view In this case, the message is expected and will only occur the first time that there is an attempt to open the missing view.
