What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Discover and run OpenRewrite recipes for automated code migration and refactoring using Arconia CLI. Use when the user wants to run a specific OpenRewrite recipe, discover available migration or refactoring recipes, apply automated code transformations, clean up code (remove unused imports, update Java version), or migrate between library versions beyond the built-in upgrade commands. Also use when the user asks about available refactoring options or wants to apply a custom rewrite recipe.

The file declares its own license as Apache-2.0. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Discover and Run OpenRewrite Recipes

Use arconia rewrite to discover and run OpenRewrite recipes for automated code migration and refactoring. This gives you full control over any recipe, unlike the arconia update commands which are curated shortcuts for common upgrades.

Always commit your project to version control before running any recipe so you can review the changes and revert if needed.

Discover available recipes

List all recipes available from the bundled libraries:

arconia rewrite discover

This outputs all available recipes with their fully qualified names.

Run a recipe

Step 1: Preview with dry-run

arconia rewrite run \
    --recipe-name org.openrewrite.java.RemoveUnusedImports \
    --dry-run

Step 2: Apply the recipe

arconia rewrite run \
    --recipe-name org.openrewrite.java.RemoveUnusedImports

Step 3: Verify

arconia build
arconia test

Run a recipe from a specific library

If the recipe is not in the bundled libraries, specify its Maven coordinates:

arconia rewrite run \
    --recipe-name io.arconia.rewrite.spring.ai.UpgradeSpringAi_1_0 \
    --recipe-library io.arconia.migrations:rewrite-spring

Pin a specific library version:

arconia rewrite run \
    --recipe-name io.arconia.rewrite.spring.ai.UpgradeSpringAi_1_0 \
    --recipe-library io.arconia.migrations:rewrite-spring \
    --recipe-version 1.2.0

Options for `arconia rewrite run`

Option	Required	Description
`--recipe-name`	Yes	Fully qualified recipe name
`--recipe-library`	No	Maven coordinates (`groupId:artifactId`) of the recipe library
`--recipe-version`	No	Specific version of the recipe library
`--dry-run`	No	Preview changes without applying

Bundled recipe libraries

These are available out of the box — no --recipe-library needed:

Library	Description
`io.arconia.migrations:rewrite-arconia`	Arconia Framework version migrations
`io.arconia.migrations:rewrite-spring`	Spring Boot and Spring AI version migrations
`io.arconia.migrations:rewrite-docling`	Docling-related migrations
`io.arconia.migrations:rewrite-test`	Test framework migrations (JUnit, Testcontainers)
`org.openrewrite:rewrite-java`	Core Java recipes (unused imports, Java version updates)
`org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-dependencies`	Dependency management recipes

For recipes from other libraries, consult the OpenRewrite Recipe Catalog and use --recipe-library to include them.

Workflow

Commit current changes to version control
Discover recipes: arconia rewrite discover
Pick the recipe that matches the task
Preview: arconia rewrite run --recipe-name <name> --dry-run
Apply: arconia rewrite run --recipe-name <name>
Verify: arconia build && arconia test
Review changes in version control

Pass extra arguments to the build tool

arconia rewrite run --recipe-name org.openrewrite.java.RemoveUnusedImports -- --stacktrace

Gotchas

Recipe names are fully qualified Java class names (e.g., org.openrewrite.java.RemoveUnusedImports). Use arconia rewrite discover to find the exact name.
The --recipe-library flag takes Maven coordinates in groupId:artifactId format, not a file path.
OpenRewrite recipes modify files in place. Always commit before running and use --dry-run first.
For common framework upgrades (Spring Boot, Spring AI, Arconia Framework), prefer arconia update commands — they are simpler and use well-tested defaults.
Some recipes from the OpenRewrite catalog use non-Apache licenses. Review the license of any recipe before running it.
