Studio Migration and rest api extension

Q&A
1

Hello,

I just imported my old workspace full of rest api extensions in a brand new Bonita Studio 7.11.1

All the pom.xml of the rest api extensions have the old Studio Bonita version.

Why the Studio is not updating the Bonita version during the import?

Is there any way to update all the rest api extensions pom.xml massively inside Bonita Studio?

I did it with an external tool.

Thanks,

cheers,

Hi Enrico

you can use the maven range syntax so that next time you won't have to update the poms, like in this example:

<properties>         <bonita.version>[7.11,)</bonita.version>         <groovy.version>2.4.16-02</groovy.version>         <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>     </properties>

The Studio doesn't update the Bonita version in the pom automatically because we can't assure that there is no breaking changes on our transitive dependencies. 
You can use the range syntax as suggested by Laurent if you don't want ot update in manually, but keep in mind that eclipse will try to resolve all the dependencies in the range, it can lead to performance issues.
