UpdateProperty: change a properties value

[svaningelgem]

What problem are you trying to solve?

I want to update a property <main.groupId>com.example.ws4</main.groupId> from ws4 to ws5. However, we have like 200 repositories (90% maven), and I don't know for certain what the property name is in each. But I know the value.

So I would like to search the properties based on the value, and if encountered: change it to the new value.

What precondition(s) should be checked before applying this recipe?

none that I can think of

Describe the situation before applying the recipe

<main.groupId>com.example.ws4</main.groupId>

Describe the situation after applying the recipe

<main.groupId>com.example.ws5</main.groupId>

Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

org.openrewrite.xml.ChangeTagValue can be used, but I feel it's not so clean. Especially because values in properties can still contain properties that needs to be interpreted.

Are you interested in contributing this recipe to OpenRewrite?

Maybe
