Find the oldest matching dependency version in use

org.openrewrite.java.dependencies.search.FindMinimumDependencyVersion

The oldest dependency version in use is the lowest dependency version in use in any source set of any subproject of a repository. It is possible that, for example, the main source set of a project uses Jackson 2.11, but a test source set uses Jackson 2.16. In this case, the oldest Jackson version in use is Java 2.11.

Dependencies in use

Direct and transitive dependencies in use.

Column Name	Description
Project name	The name of the project that contains the dependency.
Source set	The source set that contains the dependency.
Group	The first part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION.
Artifact	The second part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION.
Version	The resolved version.
Dated snapshot version	The resolved dated snapshot version or null if this dependency is not a snapshot.

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.FindMinimumDependencyVersionExample. 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.FindMinimumDependencyVersionExample
displayName: Find the oldest matching dependency version in use example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.java.dependencies.search.FindMinimumDependencyVersion:
      groupIdPattern: com.fasterxml.jackson.module
      artifactIdPattern: jackson-module-*
      version: 1.x

Now that com.yourorg.FindMinimumDependencyVersionExample 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.FindMinimumDependencyVersionExample")
}

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.FindMinimumDependencyVersionExample</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.
