+## Refaster template recipes
 
-Refaster templates are the "middle ground" of recipes. They offer more functionality than [declarative recipes](#declarative-recipes), but not as much as [imperative recipes](#imperative-recipes). On the other hand, compared to an imperative recipe, they're much quicker to create and require much less knowledge to get started.

-Refaster templates can only be used to replace one expression with another – or one statement with another. Because of that, they're ideal for straightforward replacements such as converting `StringUtils.equals(..)` to `Objects.equals(..)`. These are more than just a string replacement, though; they offer compiler and type support.

-Refaster templates can also be used as a starting point for more complex recipe implementations. This is due to the fact that, when you define a refaster template, an imperative recipe is what is actually created behind the scenes. You can find these imperative recipes in the `build` directory after you've built your repository.
+To make Refaster template recipes, you will create [Refaster templates](https://errorprone.info/docs/refaster) that will get automatically converted to Refaster template recipes when you build your repository.

+While these recipes support Refaster template syntax, OpenRewrite **does not** invoke Refaster or ErrorProne. Instead, we generate OpenRewrite recipes from those templates.

 A variety of refaster templates can be found in the [StringRules](https://github.com/openrewrite/rewrite-migrate-java/blob/v2.1.1/src/main/java/org/openrewrite/java/migrate/lang/StringRules.java#L23-L48) class in `rewrite-migrate-java`:
