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.RemoveDependencyExample. 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.RemoveDependencyExample
displayName: Remove a Gradle or Maven dependency example
recipeList:
- org.openrewrite.java.dependencies.RemoveDependency:
groupId: com.fasterxml.jackson*
artifactId: jackson-module*
configuration: api
scope: compile
Now that com.yourorg.RemoveDependencyExample has been defined activate it and take a dependency on org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-dependencies:1.2.0 in your build file:
Gradle
Maven
Moderne CLI

}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-dependencies:1.2.0")
}
