AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Growth Acceleration Partners (GAP), a leading consulting and technology services company, today announced a major update to its flagship deterministic AI migrator, PowerBuilder AI Migrator for Java. The latest version, available this month, introduces Java 21 support, a powerful new command-line interface (CLI) for automation and enhanced licensing controls designed for enterprise-scale deployments.

This release significantly advances the tool's mission to simplify and accelerate the complex process of migrating legacy PowerBuilder applications to modern Java and Angular architectures. By targeting the Java 21 Long-Term Support (LTS) release, GAP ensures that engineering teams can leverage the latest performance improvements, security enhancements, and language features of the Java platform.

"This release is a response to our customers' needs for a more powerful, flexible and future-proof path away from legacy systems," said Cheyenne Sokkappa, Product Marketing Manager at GAPVelocity AI. "With Java 21 support and the new CLI, we are empowering engineering teams to modernize their applications and also integrate the migration process directly into their automated DevOps pipelines, dramatically increasing efficiency and reducing manual effort."

Key features of the new release include:

• Java 21 Compatibility: The migration engine now generates code and project structures fully compatible with Java 21 (LTS). This update requires Tomcat 10 or higher for web deployments and includes fixes for JDBC driver configurations and multipart file handling to ensure seamless operation on the latest platform.
• New Command-Line Interface (CLI): A comprehensive CLI has been introduced, enabling developers and DevOps teams to run end-to-end migrations from the terminal. This allows for full automation, integration with CI/CD pipelines and advanced scripting capabilities without reliance on a UI.
• Enhanced Enterprise Licensing: To meet the security and governance needs of large organizations, the tool is now integrated with a robust licensing application. The new system enforces license entitlements via the CLI and introduces features such as expiration dates, activation limits and line-of-code tracking to monitor usage against license terms.
• Official Rebranding to GAPVelocity AI: The tool is now formally part of the GAPVelocity AI suite, reflecting the company's strategic focus on developing AI-powered solutions for complex software modernization challenges.

The PowerBuilder AI Migrator for Java provides a more flexible and standards-based path forward for organizations ready to modernize their critical business applications.

Availability: The latest version of the PowerBuilder AI Migrator for Java will be available to new and existing customers this month. Engineers can sign up for the free beta,
