earconvert tool
A command line tool is provided for migrating J2EE 1.2 application modules to J2EE 1.3. This migration enables you to add J2EE 1.3 modules to the migrated application module. See also the (AAT) for information on performing this task.
Migrate J2EE 1.2 application modules to which you want to add J2EE 1.3 level Webapp (WAR), Resource adapter (RAR), Enterprise beans, and client modules. This tool migrates only the application modules. Ensure that you migrate J2EE 1.2-level modules inside a J2EE 1.2 application to prevent working with back-level files.
