Use latest JAXB API and runtime for Jakarta EE 8

org.openrewrite.java.migrate.javax.AddJaxbRuntime

Update build files to use the latest JAXB runtime from Jakarta EE 8 to maintain compatibility with Java version 11 or greater. The recipe will add a JAXB run-time, in Gradle compileOnly+testImplementation and Maven provided scope, to any project that has a transitive dependency on the JAXB API. The resulting dependencies still use the javax namespace, despite the move to the Jakarta artifact.

Usage​

This recipe has required configuration parameters. Recipes with required configuration parameters cannot be activated directly (unless you are running them via the Moderne CLI). 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.AddJaxbRuntimeExample. 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.AddJaxbRuntimeExample
displayName: Use latest JAXB API and runtime for Jakarta EE 8 example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.java.migrate.javax.AddJaxbRuntime:
      runtime: glassfish

Now that com.yourorg.AddJaxbRuntimeExample has been defined, activate it and take a dependency on org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-migrate-java:3.9.0 in your build file:

  1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:
build.gradle
plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("7.6.1")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("com.yourorg.AddJaxbRuntimeExample")
    setExportDatatables(true)
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-migrate-java:3.9.0")
}
  1. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.
