Description

[OpenRewrite](https://docs.openrewrite.org/) allows to refactor large code bases "offline" from the actual refactoring happen.

It would be great if JDT has an option to generate an [OpenRewrite recipe](https://docs.openrewrite.org/recipes/java) whenever one performs a refactoring (for example add a method parameter). This can then be saved inside the project under [`META-INF/rewrite/my-recipes.yml`](https://docs.openrewrite.org/concepts-explanations/environment) to be shipped with the artifact so it can be applied afterwards to code bases using that library.

Research direction

The issue names no JDT files, tests, or entry points. Start with the OpenRewrite recipe documentation and identify the JDT refactoring entry points that would need generation. Done means a refactoring can optionally produce a recipe suitable for META-INF/rewrite/my-recipes.yml.
