Hi @prachiat

Personally I am not aware of any tool to do this automatically for you. I believe you will need to do it manually on each file.

Maybe could leverage the Find/Replace in all files capability of Intellij, using some smart regular expressions. But the effort you will put into those regex to be error proof and do what you expect, you could as well just start changing the annotations manually.

Around how many files do you have ? Are that many ?

Hi @prachiat

As mentioned by @tethich there is no tool that do conversion.

However you can write your own script based on mapping

https://www.argildx.us/technology/migration-of-scr-annotations-to-ds-annotations/

Example : AI generated python script

import re
import os

# Mapping of OSGi SCR annotations to OSGi R6/R7 annotations
ANNOTATION_MAP = {
    "@Component": "@Component",
    "@Service": "@Component(service = {REPLACE})",
    "@Reference": "@Reference",
    "@Property": "@AttributeDefinition(name = \"REPLACE\")",
    "@Activate": "@Activate",
    "@Deactivate": "@Deactivate",
    "@Modified": "@Modified"
}

# Function to convert a single file
def convert_file(file_path):
    with open(file_path, "r") as file:
        content = file.read()
    
    # Convert annotations
    for old_annotation, new_annotation in ANNOTATION_MAP.items():
        if old_annotation in content:
            content = re.sub(re.escape(old_annotation), new_annotation, content)
    
    # Replace SCR-specific imports
    content = content.replace("import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.", "import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.")
    
    with open(file_path, "w") as file:
        file.write(content)

# Function to process all Java files in a directory
def convert_directory(directory):
    for root, _, files in os.walk(directory):
        for file in files:
            if file.endswith(".java"):
                convert_file(os.path.join(root, file))

# Run script
directory_path = input("Enter the directory path containing Java files: ")
convert_directory(directory_path)
print("Conversion complete!")
