Upgrade transitive Maven dependencies

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.maven.UpgradeTransitiveDependencyVersion
Artifactorg.openrewrite:rewrite-maven

Upgrades the version of a transitive dependency in a Maven pom file. Leaves direct dependencies unmodified. When the transitive dependency's version is already governed by a plain <dependencyManagement> entry in the project, that entry is upgraded in place rather than adding a duplicate; otherwise (including a version supplied by an imported BOM) a new managed dependency is added. Can be paired with the regular Upgrade Dependency Version recipe to upgrade a dependency everywhere, regardless of whether it is direct or transitive.

Single recipeApache 2.0

Usage

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

mod run . --recipe org.openrewrite.maven.UpgradeTransitiveDependencyVersion --recipe-option "groupId=org.apache.logging.log4j" --recipe-option "artifactId=log4j-bom" --recipe-option "version=latest.release"

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

mod config recipes jar install org.openrewrite:rewrite-maven:8.88.0

Options

NameTypeDescription
groupIdrequiredStringThe first part of a dependency coordinate 'org.apache.logging.log4j:ARTIFACT_ID:VERSION'.
e.g. org.apache.logging.log4j
artifactIdrequiredStringThe second part of a dependency coordinate 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-bom:VERSION'.
e.g. log4j-bom
versionrequiredStringAn exact version number or node-style semver selector used to select the version number.
e.g. latest.release
scopeStringAn optional scope to use for the dependency management tag.
e.g. import
typeStringAn optional type to use for the dependency management tag.
e.g. pom
classifierStringAn optional classifier to use for the dependency management tag
e.g. test
versionPatternStringAllows 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 29.0-jre
e.g. -jre
releasesOnlyBooleanWhether to exclude snapshots from consideration when using a semver selector
onlyIfUsingStringOnly add managed dependencies to projects having a dependency matching the expression.
e.g. org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j*
addToRootPomBooleanAdd to the root pom where root is the eldest parent of the pom within the source set.
becauseStringThe reason for upgrading the transitive dependency. This will be added as an XML comment preceding the managed dependency.
e.g. CVE-2021-1234
