Java 25 removes the SecurityManager, replaces ZipError, and more. Don't panic.

@openrewrite.github.io helps you get rid of the hurdles to focus on more awesome stuff - like pattern matching or concurrency.

One Maven command migrates your entire codebase safely.

Teaching @openrewrite.github.io, my favorite moment is watching devs write their first custom recipes, realize they can query any codebase like a database, then immediately plan to refactor their entire monolith.
