Upgrade Docker image Java version

org.openrewrite.java.migrate.UpgradeDockerImageVersion

Upgrade Docker image tags to use the specified Java version. Updates common Java Docker images including eclipse-temurin, amazoncorretto, azul/zulu-openjdk, and others. Also migrates deprecated images (openjdk, adoptopenjdk) to eclipse-temurin, preserving any tag suffix such as -jre-alpine. When a FROM is built from a build argument, the default value of the corresponding global ARG is upgraded instead, such that ARG java_version=17 used as FROM eclipse-temurin:${java_version} becomes ARG java_version=25. Image references built from arguments without a default value are left untouched, as their value can not be determined statically. A digest pin is dropped when the tag is upgraded, as the stale digest would otherwise keep resolving to the old image.

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.UpgradeDockerImageVersionExample. 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.UpgradeDockerImageVersionExample
displayName: Upgrade Docker image Java version example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.java.migrate.UpgradeDockerImageVersion:
      version: 11

Now that com.yourorg.UpgradeDockerImageVersionExample has been defined, activate it and take a dependency on org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-migrate-java:3.45.0 in your build file:

OpenRewrite artifacts, including the Maven and Gradle plugins themselves, are distributed through the Code Genome Project repository (https://artifacts.codegenomeproject.org/maven), which requires authentication. Sign in to the Code Genome Project to create a download token; your build authenticates with the email or username you signed in with, plus that token as the password. See the quickstart guide for details.

  1. Put your Code Genome Project credentials in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties, so that they are not committed alongside your build:
    ~/.gradle/gradle.properties
    codeGenomeUsername=you@example.com
    codeGenomeToken=your-download-token
  2. Add the Code Genome Project repository to your settings.gradle file, so that the plugin itself can be resolved:
    settings.gradle
    pluginManagement {
        repositories {
            maven {
                url = "https://artifacts.codegenomeproject.org/maven"
                credentials {
                    username = providers.gradleProperty("codeGenomeUsername").get()
                    password = providers.gradleProperty("codeGenomeToken").get()
                }
            }
            // Keep the portal for any other plugins your build applies
            gradlePluginPortal()
        }
    }
  3. Add the following to your build.gradle file:
    build.gradle
    plugins {
        id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("latest.release")
    }

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

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url = "https://artifacts.codegenomeproject.org/maven"
            credentials {
                username = providers.gradleProperty("codeGenomeUsername").get()
                password = providers.gradleProperty("codeGenomeToken").get()
            }
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-migrate-java:3.45.0")
    }
  4. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.
