Tired of spending countless hours manually upgrading dependencies and refactoring deprecated code for Java apps? Say goodbye to that tedious process! Amazon Q Developer Agents for code transformation automates the end-to-end process of upgrading and transforming code, reducing the time it takes to upgrade applications from weeks to days or even minutes. Recently, a five-person Amazon team used Amazon Q to upgrade over 1,000 production applications from Java 8 to Java 17 in just two days (average time per application was less than 10 minutes).

Here's how it works:
Launch your favorite IDE and open your Java 8 project.
Type ""/transform"" in the prompt, and Q will take it from there!

Q securely uploads your code and performs a comprehensive upgrade, including:
Updating necessary dependencies
Refactoring deprecated code
Running all unit tests to ensure compatibility
Validate the code changes across all files with a single click.
Apply the upgrades to your project seamlessly.

What used to take days could now be accomplished in hours or minutes!
