• version: 1.7.0

Options

Type	Name	Description	Example
String	groupId	The first part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION.	com.google.guava
String	artifactId	The second part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION	guava
String	version	Optional. An exact version number or node-style semver selector used to select the version number.	29.X
String	versionPattern	Optional. Allows version selection to be extended beyond the original Node Semver semantics. So for example, Setting 'version' to "25-29" can be paired with a metadata pattern of "-jre" to select Guava 29.0-jre	-jre
String	onlyIfUsing	Optional. Used to determine if the dependency will be added and in which scope it should be placed.	org.junit.jupiter.api.*
String	classifier	Optional. A classifier to add. Commonly used to select variants of a library.	test
String	familyPattern	Optional. A pattern, applied to groupIds, used to determine which other dependencies should have aligned version numbers. Accepts '*' as a wildcard character.	com.fasterxml.jackson*
String	extension	Optional. For Gradle only, The extension of the dependency to add. If omitted Gradle defaults to assuming the type is "jar".	jar
String	configuration	Optional. The Gradle dependency configuration name within which to place the dependency. When omitted the configuration will be determined by the Maven scope parameter. If that parameter is also omitted, configuration will be determined based on where types matching onlyIfUsing appear in source code.	implementation
String	scope	Optional. The Maven scope within which to place the dependency. When omitted scope will be determined based on where types matching onlyIfUsing appear in source code. Valid options: compile, provided, runtime, test	runtime
Boolean	releasesOnly	Optional. For Maven only, Whether to exclude snapshots from consideration when using a semver selector
String	type	Optional. For Maven only, The type of dependency to add. If omitted Maven defaults to assuming the type is "jar". Valid options: jar, pom, war	jar
Boolean	optional	Optional. Set the value of the <optional> tag. No <optional> tag will be added when this is null.
Boolean	acceptTransitive	Optional. Default false. If enabled, the dependency will not be added if it is already on the classpath as a transitive dependency.	true

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.AddDependencyExample. 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.AddDependencyExample
displayName: Add Gradle or Maven dependency example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.java.dependencies.AddDependency:
      groupId: com.google.guava
      artifactId: guava
      version: 29.X
      versionPattern: '-jre'
      onlyIfUsing: org.junit.jupiter.api.*
      classifier: test
      familyPattern: com.fasterxml.jackson*
      extension: jar
      configuration: implementation
      scope: runtime
      type: jar
      acceptTransitive: true

Now that com.yourorg.AddDependencyExample has been defined activate it and take a dependency on org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-dependencies:1.7.0 in your build file:

Gradle

1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:

build.gradle

plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.12.0")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("com.yourorg.AddDependencyExample")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-dependencies:1.7.0")
}

2. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.

Maven

1. Add the following to your pom.xml file:

pom.xml

<project>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.openrewrite.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>rewrite-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>5.29.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <activeRecipes>
            <recipe>com.yourorg.AddDependencyExample</recipe>
          </activeRecipes>
        </configuration>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.openrewrite.recipe</groupId>
            <artifactId>rewrite-java-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.0</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

2. Run mvn rewrite:run to run the recipe.
