How to call another chef recipe within same or other Cookbook?

How to call another chef recipe within same Cookbook?

include_recipe 'another-recipe.rb'

How to call another chef recipe with another Cookbook?

You can use include_recipe with a cookbookname::recipe of the another cookbook such as

include_recipe 'ebs::raids'
include_recipe '::my_java' # works still after you rename your cookbook
include_recipe 'base::my_java' # works only as long as your cookbook name is base

But when there is a include_recipe ‘my_java’ line in cookbook, which also requires a depends ‘my_java’ line in metadata.
