Spring Boot configures Hibernate Validator in a way that the latter looks up the components it needs to instantiate via the Spring container. That in turn then creates prototype instances of the types requested. This means, implementations of e.g. ConstraintValidator do not need to be explicitly marked as Spring beans, but could still declare dependencies to other Spring beans. If such a dependency crosses a module boundary, we currently fail to detect that implicitly established module dependency.
This is now fixed by considering ConstraintValidator implementations Spring beans implicitly in out bootstrap dependency analysis.
We now explicitly exclude classes generated by Spring AOT in the architectural model. For technical reasons, they might introduce dependencies to application components considered module internals otherwise. Also, proxies generated do not need to be considered either.
We now create artificial root application modules for all root packages to detect violations (for example, types located in root packages referring to module-internal types).
The default for @ApplicationModule(allowedDependencies) is now a single element list with a dedicated token we recognize as "all dependencies allowed". This allows users to declare an empty array explicitly to disallow any outgoing dependencies for an application module. Previously, such a declaration would have allowed any dependency.
@ApplicationModuleTest is now meta-annotated with @SpringBootTest. This allows us to remove a couple of declarations that we actually had copied from it (such as the TestContextBootstrapper, the SpringExtension etc.)
The presence of the original annotation allow test-related auto-configuration to inspect @SprignBootTest for particular configuration. For example, we now alias the WebEnvironment to make it configurable for the test execution.
Switch verification of mock beans as Mockito 5.3.0 uses a different MockMaker by default that doesn't add the explicit interface we have previously checked for.
Remove obsolete init- and destroy method declarations from service bean definitions in examples.
We now use Spring Test Context's TestContextAnnotationUtils to lookup the @ApplicationModuleTest annotation to eventually bootstrap an ApplicationModules instance. That ensures that we find the annotation on JUnit 5's @Nested classes.
Introduced ApplicationModulesExporter to render an ApplicationModules instances as JSON directly. To avoid a dependency to a JSON library and as we only have to be able to render rather simple arrangements, we just build up the JSON string ourselves.
ApplicationModulesEndpoint now caches the structure calculated once to avoid repeated work.
We now optionally integrate with the JGraphT library to calculate the topological order of modules based on their dependency structure. That order is then exposed in ApplicationModules' iteration and via ….getComparator().
Renamed FormattableJavaClass to FormattableType and allow it to be created from a plain Class as well.
