Definition​

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.UpgradeJavaVersionExample. 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.UpgradeJavaVersionExample
displayName: Upgrade Java version example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.java.migrate.UpgradeJavaVersion:
      version: 11

Now that com.yourorg.UpgradeJavaVersionExample has been defined, activate it and take a dependency on org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-migrate-java:2.29.0 in your build file:

  1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:
build.gradle
plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.27.1")
}

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

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-migrate-java:2.29.0")
}
  1. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.
