This is a significant multi-version upgrade from 2.1.1 to 4.0.0, which moves from a Spring Boot 2.x base to Spring Boot 4.x. This requires major foundational changes, including a Java version bump, a migration from Java EE to Jakarta EE, and adoption of a new command programming model.

Highlights:

• Java & Jakarta EE Migration: The upgrade to Spring Shell 3.x (a prerequisite for 4.x) requires moving to Java 17+ and migrating all javax.* package imports to jakarta.* to align with Spring Boot 3.
• Command Model Redesign: Spring Shell 4.0 introduces a redesigned command programming model with new annotations and a different API structure. Existing command definitions using older annotations will need to be rewritten.

Source: Spring Project Documentation, GitHub Release Notes.
Recommendation: This upgrade requires a two-step migration. First, update the application to be compatible with Spring Boot 3 (Java 17, Jakarta EE). Then, refactor command implementations to align with the new 4.0 programming model. Thorough testing is essential.

This is a major version upgrade from 2.x to 4.x, which includes two sets of significant breaking changes. The upgrade requires a mandatory migration to Java 17, a shift from javax.* to jakarta.* packages, and a complete redesign of the command programming model.

Highlights:

• Java 17 & Jakarta EE Migration: The upgrade to the 3.x line, which is a prerequisite, requires moving from Java 8 to Java 17 and changing all javax.* package imports (e.g., for JPA, Validation) to jakarta.*.
• Redesigned Command Model: Version 4.0 introduces a redesigned command programming model with new annotations, replacing the previous way of defining shell commands. Core APIs have also been moved to new packages, which will break existing imports.

Source: Spring Boot/Shell Release Notes
Recommendation: This is a multi-step migration. First, upgrade to a stable 3.x version and address the Java and Jakarta EE changes. Then, rewrite command implementations to align with the new 4.0 programming model before merging.
