Description

Currently for Spring Boot 4.1, there is only a properties upgrade recipe that was added in #1096, so the full migration to Spring Boot 4.1 is not covered. Moreover that recipe only covers some logging.* properties.

What would still be required:

  • A new recipe for Spring Boot 4.1.
  • Update Spring Boot parents and dependency imports to 4.1.
  • Ensure Spring Cloud 2025.1.3 is used (I think this should be the case because SB 4.0 recipe takes the last version).
  • Generate the Spring Boot property migration recipe automatically (it was generated by hand in #1096).
  • Include recipe(s) for Hibernate 7.4 (see also https://github.com/openrewrite/rewrite-hibernate/issues/99)
  • Check if any other feature needs an automatic recipe (I don’t think it’s the case)
