💡Golden Nuggets: Best Practices for Successful Upgrade
Check your project is running without any errors before uploading it to 9.0:
Add 8.6 jar manually under <dependencies> and provide absolute path of the jar.
Example:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.minidev</groupId>
<artifactId>accessors-smart</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath></systemPath>
</dependency>
Once all the dependencies are added, right-click on the project and select Run As.
Selecting Run As will open a list, click on Maven clean.
Now again go to the list under Run As and click Maven Built.
