Spring Framework 6.1 - Add -parameters compiler flag if missing

[nmck257]

What problem are you trying to solve?

Spring Framework 6.1 made this change: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/wiki/Upgrading-to-Spring-Framework-6.x?secureweb=Teams#parameter-name-retention

Looking at the discussion behind that change (spring-projects/spring-framework#29531), it seems that the Spring Team expects that ~all Spring Framework apps are using the -parameters option already, by convention. And now in 6.1, many features break if the project is not using that compiler option.

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

• Check that project is not using Spring Boot Starter Parent as a Maven Parent (or similar for Gradle), as this applies the relevant -parameters config already
  • Maybe transitively check the parent hierarchy for anything setting the -parameters option instead of hardcoding spring-boot-starter-parent
• Check that the project doesn't already set -parameters in its own config

Describe the situation before applying the recipe

See the examples in the Spring Release Notes up above

Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

A collection of recipes could attempt to tweak source code to avoid using every feature which relies on parameter names (eg always explicitly give the name in every @PathVariable), but this would be a large scope and seems inconsistent with Spring conventions.

Any additional context

Are you interested in contributing this recipe to OpenRewrite?

Maybe; probably not in the short term
