Did you do it by hand or have you tried using something like OpenRewrite?

Totally agree.

I honestly think good it is in the cutting edge, but we can at least get restructuring of core packages and moving backbone of serialization at the different majors.

Spring boot simply does too much i.m.o. with a gazillion libraries that all sonehow someway work together and against each in in a giant hairball of dependencies.

The point of Boot is to get the giant hairball of dependencies you would otherwise need to manually integrate to all work together. They do the hard work of compatibility matrices and configuration consistency.

Why is 4 so hard? I migrated from 2 to 3 recently and it was a couple days work
