## 🎯 Easy Next Steps (Ranked by Value/Effort)
### Priority 1: Source Code Scanning (2-3 days) ⭐⭐⭐
**Why**: Currently the tool only analyzes dependencies. Users can't see which Java files actually use `javax.*`.
**Effort**: Medium (2-3 days)
**Value**: Very High
**Impact**: Transforms tool from dependency analyzer to complete migration analyzer
**What to Implement**:
1. Create `SourceCodeScanner` service
2. Scan `.java` files for `javax.*` imports
3. Return file-by-file usage report
4. Add MCP tool `scanSourceCode`
**Files to Create**:
- `src/main/java/.../service/SourceCodeScanner.java`
- `src/main/java/.../domain/SourceCodeAnalysisResult.java`
- `src/main/java/.../domain/FileUsage.java`
- `src/main/java/.../domain/ImportStatement.java`
**MCP Tool**:
```java
@McpTool(name = "scanSourceCode", description = "Scans source code for javax.* usage")
public String scanSourceCode(String projectPath)
```
**Why This First?**
- Enables other improvements (better migration plans, impact analysis)
- High user value - shows exactly what needs migration
- Straightforward implementation (regex-based, can upgrade to AST later)
---
### Priority 2: Improve Migration Plan Specificity (1-2 days) ⭐⭐
**Why**: Current plans are generic ("Refactor Java files batch 1"). Users need to know what to change.
**Effort**: Low-Medium (1-2 days)
**Value**: High
**Impact**: Makes migration plans actionable
**What to Implement**:
1. Enhance `MigrationPlanner` to use `SourceCodeScanner`
2. Add file-specific actions to `RefactoringPhase`
3. Generate specific import replacements per file
**Files to Modify**:
- `src/main/java/.../service/MigrationPlanner.java`
- `src/main/java/.../domain/RefactoringPhase.java` (add `actions` field)
**Example Enhancement**:
```java
public record RefactoringPhase(
int phaseNumber,
String description,
List<String> files,
List<PhaseAction> actions, // NEW: File-specific actions
List<String> recipes,
List<String> dependencies,
Duration estimatedDuration
) {}
public record PhaseAction(
String filePath,
String actionType,
List<String> specificChanges // e.g., "Line 5: Replace import javax.servlet.*"
) {}
```
**Why This Second?**
- Depends on Source Code Scanning (#1)
- Makes plans actually useful
- Relatively straightforward enhancement
---
### Priority 3: XML Configuration Scanning (1-2 days) ⭐
**Why**: Many projects have `javax.*` in XML configs (web.xml, persistence.xml, etc.)
**Effort**: Low-Medium (1-2 days)
**Value**: Medium
**Impact**: Catches hidden javax usage
**What to Implement**:
- Extend `SourceCodeScanner` to scan XML files
- Look for `javax.*` in:
- XML namespace declarations
- Class names
- String values
**Files to Modify**:
- `src/main/java/.../service/SourceCodeScanner.java`
**Why This Third?**
- Extends Source Code Scanning (#1)
- Catches configuration file usage
- Medium value addition
---
### Priority 4: Migration Impact Summary (1 day) ⭐
**Why**: Users want to know migration scope before starting.
**Effort**: Low (1 day)
**Value**: Medium
**Impact**: Better user experience
**What to Implement**:
- Combine dependency analysis + source code scan results
- Generate summary with:
- File counts
- Import counts
- Estimated effort
- Risk factors
**MCP Tool**:
```java
@McpTool(name = "analyzeMigrationImpact", description = "Analyzes full migration impact")
public String analyzeMigrationImpact(String projectPath)
```
**Why This Fourth?**
- Combines existing analyses
- Quick to implement
- Good UX improvement
---
### Priority 5: Enhanced Version Recommendations (1 day) ⭐
**Why**: Could find more javax dependencies by checking transitive deps and more patterns.
**Effort**: Low (1 day)
**Value**: Low-Medium
**Impact**: Better coverage
**What to Implement**:
- Check transitive dependencies for javax usage
- Add more common artifactId patterns
- Use mapping service more comprehensively
**Files to Modify**:
- `src/main/java/.../service/impl/DependencyAnalysisModuleImpl.java`
**Why This Last?**
- Already works well
- Diminishing returns
- Lower priority

## 📋 Recommended Implementation Order
### Week 1: Source Code Scanning
**Days 1-3**: Implement Source Code Scanner
- Create domain classes
- Implement scanner service
- Add MCP tool
- Add tests
**Result**: Tool can now show which files use `javax.*`
### Week 2: Enhanced Migration Plans
**Days 4-5**: Improve Migration Plan Specificity
- Enhance `RefactoringPhase` with actions
- Update `MigrationPlanner` to use scanner
- Generate file-specific actions
**Result**: Migration plans show exactly what to change
### Week 3: Polish
**Days 6-7**: XML Scanning + Impact Summary
- Add XML file scanning
- Create impact summary tool
**Result**: Complete migration analysis
---
## 💡 Quick Win: Start with Source Code Scanning
**Simplified Version (1 day)**:
- Use regex-based scanning (no AST needed initially)
- Scan `.java` files only (add XML later)
- Return simple list of files with javax imports
- Can upgrade to AST-based later
**This gives immediate value** and enables other improvements!

- ✅ Users see complete migration scope
- ✅ Migration plans can be file-specific
- ✅ Impact analysis includes file counts
After implementing Enhanced Migration Plans:
- ✅ Plans show specific changes per file
- ✅ Users know exactly what to do
- ✅ Migration becomes actionable
