Prior to this commit, the Spring Framework build would partially use the
dependency management plugin to import and enforce BOMs.
This commit applies the dependency management plugin to all Java
projects and regroups all version management declaration in the root
`build.gradle` file (versions and exclusions).
Some versions are overridden in specific modules for
backwards-compatibility reasons or extended support.
This commit also adds the Gradle versions plugin that checks for
dependency upgrades in artifact repositories and produces a report; you
can use the following:
./gradlew dependencyUpdates
Prior to this commit, the Spring Framework build would mix proper
framework modules (spring-* modules published to maven central) and
internal modules such as:
* "spring-framework-bom" (which publishes the Framework BOM with all
modules)
* "spring-core-coroutines" which is an internal modules for Kotlin
compilation only
This commit renames these modules so that they don't start with
"spring-*"; we're also moving the "kotlin-coroutines" module under
"spring-core", since it's merged in the resulting JAR.
See gh-23282
This commit reorganizes tasks and scripts in the build to only apply
them where they're needed. We're considering here 3 "types" of projects
in our build:
* the root project, handling documentation, publishing, etc
* framework modules (a project that's published as a spring artifact)
* internal modules, such as the BOM, our coroutines support and our
integration-tests
With this change, we're strealining the project configuration for all
spring modules and only applying plugins when needed (typically our
kotlin support).
See gh-23282
This commit introduces the spring-core-coroutines module
in order to avoid referencing Kotlin code from Java one,
which is currently not supported by Eclipse.
During the build, spring-core-coroutines is merged into
spring-core, so this change is expected to have no impact
for end users.
This module contains functions accessible from Java via
the CoroutinesUtils class to adapt Coroutines and Deferred
instances to and from Mono.
See gh-19975
This CGLIB upgrade literally does not make any difference to Spring users since its only purpose is a default ASM7 declaration in its AsmApi class (which we patched a month ago). We nevertheless leave our local AsmApi copy in place for the time being, allowing for an individual upgrade of the declared ASM API version in the future.

Prior to this commit, the generated POMs for Spring Framework modules
would contain unneeded/harmful information from the Spring Framework
build:
1. The BOM imports applied to each module by the dependency
management plugin, for example for Netty or Reactor Netty.
Spring should not export that opinion to its POMs.
2. The exclusion of "org.slf4:jcl-over-slf4j" from *all* dependencies,
which made the POMs much larger than necessary and suggested to
developers that they should exclude it as well when using all those
listed dependencies. In fact, only Apache Tiles currently brings that
transitively.
This commit removes that information from the POMs.
The dependencyManagement Gradle plugin is disabled for POM generation
and we manually resolve the dependency versions during the generation
phase.
The Gradle build is streamlined to exclude "org.slf4:jcl-over-slf4j"
only when necessary.

Spring's CGLIB fork is patched with local copies of affected files here, introducing the notion of a "contextClass" (e.g. the proxy superclass) which gets passed through to ReflectUtils.defineClass for delegating to MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass eventually, against a privateLookupIn(contextClass) lookup context on JDK 9/10/11.
Issue: SPR-15859
This commit applies the Dependency Management Plugin to modules that
require it; right now Spring Framework is importing BOMs for Netty and
Reactor dependencies only.
Instead of applying those BOMs to all modules, they're applied only
where they're needed.
Issue: SPR-15885
The main `build.gradle` file contains now only the common build
infrastructure; all module-specific build configurations have
been moved to their own build file.
