Lombok resolves a key by walking up from the directory of the Java file it is compiling and does not stop at the project, so without this key a `lombok.config` in a parent directory of wherever the project happens to be checked out takes part in the build. Note that this cuts the project off from such a file whether or not it was meant to be read, so a project that deliberately inherits configuration from a directory above it should not run this recipe. Nothing is added when the key is already declared, whatever value it is assigned, as a project that turns bubbling off explicitly, or back on again, is doing so deliberately; nor when the root file imports a file that is not among the sources, as there is then no telling whether that file declares the key.",1,,Lombok,Modernize,Java,,Recipes for working with [Lombok](https://projectlombok.org/).,Modernize your code to best use the project's current JDK version.

+maven,org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-migrate-java,org.openrewrite.java.migrate.lombok.ConsolidateLombokConfig,Consolidate `lombok.config` files,"Merge the directives of every nested `lombok.config` into the root `lombok.config` and delete the nested files, so that a project has a single place where Lombok is configured. Directives are appended to the root file, leaving whatever it already contains exactly as it was written, and directives the root already declares are dropped rather than repeated. Note that hoisting a directive widens its scope from the directory that declared it to the whole project, so a directive that only some directories can satisfy, such as `lombok.val.flagUsage = error`, will start to apply to all of them. A nested file is left in place when its directives cannot be moved without changing what Lombok does: `config.stopBubbling` opts its directory, and everything under it, out of the root configuration, `import` resolves relative to the file that declares it, and `clear` and `-=` depend on the order they appear in relative to the additions they undo. A nested file is left in place as well when a `lombok.config` between it and the root speaks about one of the same directives, or imports a file that may, because that file would outrank the root once the directive moved there. A `lombok.config` another one imports is left in place as well, as deleting it would leave that import pointing at nothing, and so is a `lombok.config` with no Java source at or below it, such as a fixture under `src/test/resources`, as Lombok never reads it. What the root `lombok.config` imports is read as part of it, so that a directive the imported file already declares is neither repeated nor overridden. No changes are made when two files assign conflicting values to the same directive, as there is no way to tell which value the consolidated configuration should keep, nor when the root imports a file that is not among the sources, as there is then no telling what that file declares.",1,,Lombok,Modernize,Java,,Recipes for working with [Lombok](https://projectlombok.org/).,Modernize your code to best use the project's current JDK version.
