This commit deprecates ListenableFuture in favor of CompletableFuture.
ListenableFuture was introduced in Spring Framework 4.0, when
CompletableFuture was not yet available. Spring now requires JDK 17, so
having our own type no longer seems necessary.
Major changes in this commit include:
- Deprecation of ListenableFuture and related types
(ListenableFutureCallback, SettableListenableFuture, etc.)
- Deprecation of AsyncListenableTaskExecutor in favor of default methods
in AsyncTaskExecutor (submitCompletable).
- AsyncHandlerMethodReturnValueHandler now has toCompletableFuture
instead of toListenableFuture.
- WebSocketClient now has execute methods, which do the same as
doHandshake, but return CompletableFutures (cf. the reactive
WebSocketClient).
All other changes
- add an overloaded method that takes a CompletableFuture parameter
instead of ListenableFuture, and/or
- add a method with a 'Async' suffix that returns a CompletableFuture
instead of a ListenableFuture (connectAsync, sendAsync).
Closes gh-27780
This commit deprecates all methods in org.springframework.scheduling

- long & TimeUnit, in favor of variants that take a Duration.

SocketUtils was introduced in Spring Framework 4.0, primarily to assist
in writing integration tests which start an external server on an
available random port. However, these utilities make no guarantee about
the subsequent availability of a given port and are therefore
unreliable. Instead of using SocketUtils to find an available local
port for a server, it is recommended that users rely on a server's
ability to start on a random port that it selects or is assigned by the
operating system. To interact with that server, the user should query
the server for the port it is currently using.
SocketUtils is now deprecated in 5.3.16 and will be removed in 6.0.
Closes gh-28052
With JDK 9, java.util.regex.Matcher received overloaded variants of
appendReplacement() and appendTail() that accept a StringBuilder,
allowing us to replace the use of StringBuffer with StringBuilder.
Closes gh-27822
This commit also applies additional clean-up tasks such as the following.
- final fields
- diamond operator (<>) for anonymous inner classes
- for-each loop
This has only been applied to `src/main/java`.
