Migrating the specification level of Java EE projects
The Java™ EE Migration Wizard supports the migration from both the J2EE 1.2 and 1.3 specifications to the J2EE 1.4 specification level for all Java EE module types.
Refer to J2EE 1.3 to 1.4 specification level migration and J2EE 1.2 to 1.4 specification level migration for details on the migration of J2EE 1.3 and 1.2 specification level artifacts to J2EE 1.4 specification level.
