We now explicitly access an Artifactory resource to verify authentication so that it's less likely the deployment and promotion will fail later on. Added "artifactory verify" as command to be executed from the shell.
We're now using the global sorting of the projects defined by the topological graph analysis run at startup to implement Comparable and exposing this comparability on more upper levels like modules.
Switched to Apache Maven Invoker for running Maven on the projects.
Added JGraphT to correctly sort dependencies in topological order.
Upgraded to Spring Boot 1.3.2, Lombok 1.16.6, jGit 4.2.0. Upgraded to Spring Plugin 1.3 to benefit from lazy exception creation using lambdas. Added Lombok configuration to throw IllegalArgumentException on null checks.
Moved to Spring Boot 1.3 and leverage the new configuration properties mechanism (see GitProperties and IoProperties). Improved ArtifactVersion to be a better value object.
Introduced usage of Java 8's CompletableFuture to execute most of the Git operations in parallel. Started to use Lambdas where possible.
Git configuration is now supposed to be done using a application-local.properties (Git ignored) file containing the relevant properties (see readme). The test configuration now uses a separate workspace location and a Sample release train to make sure the integration tests run without interfering a local workspace.
Added train declaration for Hopper. Integrated BootShim (see [0], [1]) to run the shell on top of Spring Boot.
