# EDOT Java Migration

Read the migration guide before making changes:

- [Migration guide](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/java/migration)
- [EDOT Java setup](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/java/setup)
- [EDOT Java configuration](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/java/configuration)

## Guidelines

1. Remove ALL classic APM references: `elastic-apm-agent.jar`, `elasticapm.properties`, all `ELASTIC_APM_*` env vars,
   and any `co.elastic.apm` Maven/Gradle dependencies
1. Use `elastic-otel-javaagent.jar` (download from
   [Maven Central](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/co.elastic.otel/elastic-otel-javaagent/latest), not a Maven/Gradle
   compile dependency)
