Migration Guide from Quarks to Edgent

Hi there -

I am wondering if there is a migration guide (or if one is in plan) to help
users migrate existing applications from Quarks to Edgent?

Thanks...
Samantha

Thanks Dale.

I moved from v0.4 release of Quarks.  The other change was renaming
IotDevice to IotpDevice.  I think locations of the jar files have changed a
bit as I have to update that.  Other than that, things seem to be ok.

https://github.com/apache/incubator-edgent/blob/master/README.md contains a brief section related to this.  It notes that the package names and jar names have changed.  The implication is that application code “import statements” and build scripts / rules need to be adjust accordingly :-)

fwiw, it was also noted in an email on this list on July 21st "Re: Quarks to Edgent rename: what you need to know”:

Following that merge, users of Edgent will need to adjust their classpath’s to use the jar names that now start with “edgent” and adjust their “import” declarations to use the “org.apache.edgent” package names.  It’s recommended that developers of Edgent create a new workspace instead of reusing a current one.

I’m not aware of any additional migration-doc work planned.

If the migration of your apps involve more than that and/or if you think more needs to be said on the subject please let us know… or submit a PR with improvements to README.md  :-)
