Upgrading from Scipio ERP 3.x to 4.0: a checklist

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0100

Scipio ERP 4.0 changes more under the surface than any release before it. Most of it does not touch a project that runs on 3.x, but some of it does. This list comes from the changes in the 4.0 code. Work through it on a copy of your installation, not on production.

1. The JDK and the build#

4.0 builds and runs on a Java 11, 17 or 21 JDK. The source level is Java 11; with a JDK 17 or newer the build uses a Java 17 toolchain.
The build is Gradle (wrapper 8.5). The Ant build is gone.
Components in hot-deploy/ and addons/ are found automatically.

A fresh start is two commands:
