Upgrade Maven dependency version

org.openrewrite.maven.UpgradeDependencyVersion
Upgrade the version of a dependency by specifying a group and (optionally) an artifact using Node Semver advanced range selectors, allowing more precise control over version updates to patch or minor releases.
Recipe source
​GitHub, Issue Tracker, Maven Central​
groupId: org.openrewrite
artifactId: rewrite-maven
version: 8.9.5
Options
Type
Name
Description
String
groupId
The first part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION. This can be a glob expression.
String
artifactId
The second part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION. This can be a glob expression.
String
newVersion
An exact version number or node-style semver selector used to select the version number. You can also use latest.release for the latest available version and latest.patch if the current version is a valid semantic version. For more details, you can look at the documentation page of version selectors​
String
versionPattern
Optional. Allows version selection to be extended beyond the original Node Semver semantics. So for example,Setting 'newVersion' to "25-29" can be paired with a metadata pattern of "-jre" to select Guava 29.0-jre
Boolean
overrideManagedVersion
Optional. This flag can be set to explicitly override a managed dependency's version. The default for this flag is false.
List
retainVersions
Optional. Accepts a list of GAVs. For each GAV, if it is a project direct dependency, and it is removed from dependency management after the changes from this recipe, then it will be retained with an explicit version. The version can be omitted from the GAV to use the old value from dependency management

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.UpgradeDependencyVersionExample. 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.UpgradeDependencyVersionExample
displayName: Upgrade Maven dependency version example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.maven.UpgradeDependencyVersion:
      groupId: com.fasterxml.jackson*
      artifactId: jackson-module*
      newVersion: 29.X
      versionPattern: '-jre'
      overrideManagedVersion: null
      retainVersions: com.jcraft:jsch
Now that com.yourorg.UpgradeDependencyVersionExample has been defined activate it in your build file:
Maven
Moderne CLI
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>5.13.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <activeRecipes>
            <recipe>com.yourorg.UpgradeDependencyVersionExample</recipe>
          </activeRecipes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>
2.Run mvn rewrite:run to run the recipe.
You will need to have configured the Moderne CLI on your machine before you can run the following command.
shell
mod run . --recipe UpgradeDependencyVersion
