Options​

TypeNameDescriptionExample
StringoldGroupIdThe old groupId to replace. The groupId is the first part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION. Supports glob expressions.org.openrewrite.recipe
StringoldArtifactIdThe old artifactId to replace. The artifactId is the second part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION. Supports glob expressions.rewrite-testing-frameworks
StringnewGroupIdOptional. The new groupId to use. Defaults to the existing group id.corp.internal.openrewrite.recipe
StringnewArtifactIdOptional. The new artifactId to use. Defaults to the existing artifact id.rewrite-testing-frameworks
StringnewVersionOptional. An exact version number or node-style semver selector used to select the version number.29.X
StringversionPatternOptional. Allows version selection to be extended beyond the original Node Semver semantics. So for example,Setting 'version' to "25-29" can be paired with a metadata pattern of "-jre" to select Guava 29.0-jre-jre
BooleanoverrideManagedVersionOptional. If the new dependency has a managed version, this flag can be used to explicitly set the version on the dependency. The default for this flag is false.
BooleanchangeManagedDependencyOptional. Also update the dependency management section. The default for this flag is true.

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.ChangeDependencyGroupIdAndArtifactIdExample. 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.ChangeDependencyGroupIdAndArtifactIdExample
displayName: Change Maven dependency example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.maven.ChangeDependencyGroupIdAndArtifactId:
      oldGroupId: org.openrewrite.recipe
      oldArtifactId: rewrite-testing-frameworks
      newGroupId: corp.internal.openrewrite.recipe
      newArtifactId: rewrite-testing-frameworks
      newVersion: 29.X
      versionPattern: '-jre'

Now that com.yourorg.ChangeDependencyGroupIdAndArtifactIdExample 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>6.8.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <exportDatatables>true</exportDatatables>
          <activeRecipes>
            <recipe>com.yourorg.ChangeDependencyGroupIdAndArtifactIdExample</recipe>
          </activeRecipes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>
  1. Run mvn rewrite:run to run the recipe.
