We haven't started yet. Still on JDK 8.

But if you are using an IDE like Intellij should be much easier. It has a migration tool for javax to jakarta

Have you updated your plugins to new JDK, if yes, did you update from javax to jakarta. Could you please share your experience

If you are facing any issue, delete the CDT manually from the Appian designer and then re-deploy the plugin. This will deploy the CDT again from the plugin.

I recall doing this a couple of times during development when making changes to the CDT in my plugin.

Thanks for your answer.

If we redeploy the plugin with new version how is the CDTs handled in that scenario, please share your experience if any.

Thanks!

Hi, Found this question when looking for something so thought I'd answer.

Yes, the custom data type will be created automatically when you deploy the plugin. And I don't think you can reference manually created CDT in a custom plugin. The CDT is backed by a Java class and usually we create this in the same plugin package.
