Remove redundant explicit dependencies

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.java.dependencies.RemoveRedundantDependenciesArtifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-dependencies

Remove explicit dependencies that are already provided transitively by a specified dependency. This recipe downloads and resolves the parent dependency's POM to determine its true transitive dependencies, allowing it to detect redundancies even when both dependencies are explicitly declared. A direct dependency is only removed when the transitive one provides it at the exact same scope and with the same declared exclusions, so that removing it does not change the effective classpath. Declarations that constrain resolution through a version range or dynamic version, such as a Gradle version { strictly ... } block, are never removed.

This recipe has required options, which a build sets in a rewrite.yml recipe that you activate instead.

Usage

You’ll need the Moderne CLI configured before running the command below.

mod run . --recipe org.openrewrite.java.dependencies.RemoveRedundantDependencies --recipe-option "groupId=com.fasterxml.jackson.core" --recipe-option "artifactId=jackson-databind"

If the recipe isn’t available locally, install it with:

mod config recipes jar install org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-dependencies:RELEASE

Options

Name	Type	Description
`groupId`required	`String`	The first part of a dependency coordinate `com.google.guava:guava:VERSION` of the parent dependency. This can be a glob expression. e.g. `com.fasterxml.jackson.core`
`artifactId`required	`String`	The second part of a dependency coordinate `com.google.guava:guava:VERSION` of the parent dependency. This can be a glob expression. e.g. `jackson-databind`
