Recipe source

GitHub, Issue Tracker, Maven Central

• groupId: org.openrewrite

• artifactId: rewrite-java

• version: 8.28.1

Options

Type	Name	Description	Example
String	annotationPatternToReplace	An annotation matcher, expressed as a method pattern to replace.	@org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull("Test")
String	annotationTemplateToInsert	An annotation template to add instead of original one, will be parsed with JavaTemplate.	@org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull("Null not permitted")
String	classpathResourceName	Optional. If the annotation's type is defined by a jar within the META-INF/rewrite/classpath directory provide its name here so that it can be loaded. When this parameter is not passed the runtime classpath of the recipe is provided to the parser producing the new annotation. This is necessary when the annotation is not on the runtime classpath of the recipe and isn't in the Java standard library.	annotations

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.ReplaceAnnotationExample. 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.ReplaceAnnotationExample
displayName: Replace Annotation example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.java.ReplaceAnnotation:
      annotationPatternToReplace: '@org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull("Test")'
      annotationTemplateToInsert: '@org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull("Null not permitted")'
      classpathResourceName: annotations

Now that com.yourorg.ReplaceAnnotationExample has been defined activate it in your build file:

Gradle

1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:

build.gradle

plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.16.1")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("com.yourorg.ReplaceAnnotationExample")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

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>5.34.0</version>
        <configuration>
          
          <activeRecipes>
            <recipe>com.yourorg.ReplaceAnnotationExample</recipe>
          </activeRecipes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

2. Run mvn rewrite:run to run the recipe.
