Usage

This recipe has required configuration parameters. Recipes with required configuration parameters cannot be activated directly. To activate this recipe you must create a new recipe which fills in the required parameters. In your rewrite.yml create a new recipe with a unique name. For example: com.yourorg.AddLicenseHeaderExample. Here's how you can define and customize such a recipe within your rewrite.yml:
rewrite.yml
---
type: specs.openrewrite.org/v1beta/recipe
name: com.yourorg.AddLicenseHeaderExample
displayName: Add license header example
recipeList:
- org.openrewrite.java.AddLicenseHeader:
licenseText: Copyright ${CURRENT_YEAR} the original author or authors...

id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("5.40.4")
