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.AddManagedDependencyExample. 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.AddManagedDependencyExample
displayName: Add managed Maven dependency example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.maven.AddManagedDependency:
      groupId: org.apache.logging.log4j
      artifactId: log4j-bom
      version: latest.release
      scope: import
      type: pom
      classifier: test
      versionPattern: '-jre'
      onlyIfUsing: org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j*

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

  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>5.29.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <activeRecipes>
            <recipe>com.yourorg.AddManagedDependencyExample</recipe>
          </activeRecipes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>
  1. Run mvn rewrite:run to run the recipe.
