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.

type: specs.openrewrite.org/v1beta/recipe
name: com.yourorg.UpgradeJavaVersionExample
displayName: Upgrade Java version example
recipeList:
- org.openrewrite.java.migrate.UpgradeJavaVersion:
version: 11
