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.
Introduce Spring Modulith Actuator module to expose the application module structure as Spring Boot actuator. This required a Spring Modulith Runtime module to be extracted from the Spring Modulith Observability one. The former now contains the auto-configured ApplicationRuntime and ApplicationModulesRuntime bean instances to be able to bootstrap a ApplicationModules asynchronously on application startup. The actuator module then contains a Spring Boot @Endpoint implementation consuming the ApplicationModules to render JSON describing the application module structure.
Overhauled the module canvas in various ways. By default, we now skip "empty" rows. In other words, if we do not find any published events for example, we skip the entire row. CanvasOptions.revealEmptyRows() can be used to keep those empty rows around. We now also expose all value types and Spring bean references.
Refactored the dependency lookup APIs on ApplicationModule. Both DependencyType and DependencyDepth are now top-level types. Also, ApplicationModuleDependency and ApplicationModuleDependencies were introduced as explicit types. In the course of that, ApplicationModule.getDependencies(…) has got its return type changed from List<ApplicationModule> to ApplicationModuleDependencies. The internal ModuleDependency type has been renamed to QualifiedDependency.
We now render the module component diagrams in C4 style by default. Changed the implementation of ApplicationModuleInformation to fallback to the simple module name by default unless fully-qualified module names are enabled.
0fbf7b introduced a bug in which the named interface referenced by an explicit allowed dependency declaration was accidentally switched to be resolved against the source module, not the target one.
We now verify detected dependencies against optionally explicitly defined ones. Those can refer to named interfaces (via the "moduleName :: namedInterfaceName" syntax). If such an allowed dependency is defined, all dependencies towards other named interfaces (also the unnamed one) are rejected.
Some Javadoc polishing.
Upgrade to Spring Boot 3 and Java 17 as project baselines. Removed legacy JavaEE modules and replaced them by ones compatible with JakartaEE 9.
Disabled the Observability module for now as Spring Cloud Sleuth has been removed the Boot 3 compatible Spring Cloud branch and we need to migrate the module to Micrometer first.
