Summary

  • Adds new recipe MigrateGraalVMResourceConfig to migrate GraalVM native-image resource-config.json files
  • Converts legacy regex pattern format (JDK 21 and earlier) to new glob pattern format (JDK 23+)
  • Includes declarative UpgradeToGraalVM23 recipe for easy discovery

Problem

GraalVM JDK 23 changed the resource hints syntax in resource-config.json from Java regex pattern format to glob pattern format. Applications using wildcards in their resource configurations need to update their registrations when upgrading to GraalVM 23+.

Old format (JDK 21 and earlier):

{
  "resources": {
    "includes": [{"pattern": ".*\\.txt"}],
    "excludes": [{"pattern": ".*\\.bak"}]
  }
}

New format (JDK 23+):

{
  "resources": [
    {"glob": "**/*.txt"}
  ]
}

Note: excludes is no longer supported in the new format.

Solution

The recipe:

  1. Detects old format resource-config.json files (with includes/excludes structure)
  2. Converts regex patterns to glob patterns:
    • .*\.txt**/*.txt
    • [^/]**
    • META-INF/.*META-INF/**
    • Escaped dots (\.) → literal dots (.)
  3. Restructures JSON from {resources: {includes: [...]}} to {resources: [...]}
  4. Removes excludes section (no longer supported)
  5. Marks patterns that cannot be automatically converted (character classes, alternations, etc.) with a SearchResult marker for manual review

Test plan

  • Existing tests pass

  • New tests added covering:

    • Simple pattern migration
    • Excludes removal
    • Single-level wildcard conversion ([^/]**)
    • Literal paths with escaped dots
    • Nested path wildcards
    • Non-resource-config files unchanged
    • Already-new format files unchanged
    • Unconvertible patterns marked for review
    • Module field preservation
  • Fixes moderneinc/customer-requests#1755

GraalVM JDK 23 changed the resource hints syntax in resource-config.json
from Java regex pattern format to glob pattern format. This recipe
automatically migrates the configuration files.

Changes:
- New recipe: MigrateGraalVMResourceConfig
- Converts pattern entries to glob entries (e.g., ".*\.txt" -> "**/*.txt")
- Restructures JSON from {resources: {includes: [...]}} to {resources: [...]}
- Removes excludes section (no longer supported in GraalVM 23+)
- Marks unconvertible patterns (character classes, alternations) for manual review

Fixes moderneinc/customer-requests#1755

- Update copyright year to 2026
- Use Tree.randomId() instead of UUID.randomUUID()
- Use ListUtils.map for more concise code
- Fix else-if code style (same line)
- Fix string comparison order ("**".equals(glob))
- Use defaults(RecipeSpec) pattern in tests
- Integrate RegexToGlobConverter into MigrateGraalVMResourceConfig
  (reducing public API surface per reviewer suggestion)
- Convert getDisplayName/getDescription methods to String fields
- Use StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty() for null/empty check
- Add StringUtils import

Should we just add this one recipe to the Java 25 upgrade? I don't see folks easily discover this one, nor do I see harm in including the recipe there. We have other JDK vendor specific migration recipes in there as well.
