Prior to this commit, the ordering of classpath entries in the
generated Eclipse .classpath files did not align with the intended
dependency management configured in the Gradle build. Specifically,
project dependencies often came before dependencies on third-party
libraries required for the given project, causing the project not to
compile in Eclipse.
This commit fixes this issue by introducing new functionality in the
ide.gradle script that moves all project dependencies to the end of the
generated classpath.
Issue: SPR-11836
- Set the eclipse.jdt source and target compatibility to 1.8 in
ide.gradle.
- Updated the instructions in import-into-eclipse.sh to reflect minimum
requirements for building Spring Framework 4.1 against Java 8 with
Eclipse and STS
Issue: SPR-11831
An initial commit with expanded support for static resource handling:
- Add ResourceResolver strategy for resolving a request to a Resource
along with a few implementations.
- Add PublicResourceUrlProvider to get URLs for client-side use.
- Add ResourceUrlEncodingFilter and
PublicResourceUrlProviderExposingInterceptor along with initial
MVC Java config support.
Issue: SPR-10933
Specifically set the source level in generated eclipse projects to 1.7
rather than 1.8. Allows the current eclipse milestone (4.3 M6) in
combination with JDK 8.0 to be used for Spring 4.0 development.
Previously the maven dependencies were specified in an arbitrary order
which made comparing the poms against other versions difficult.
This commit sorts the dependencies by scope, group id, and then
artifact id.
- Change output folders to /bin/main and /bin/test. This prevents
'gradle clean' from breaking eclipse.
- Update copyright header for new files to '2002-2013'
Update gradle to generate the following project specific eclipse
settings:
- Java formatting
- Cleanup options
- Warning settings
- Code template with copyright header
- WTP module meta-data
In addition this commit changes the eclipse project .classpath file
to output test and main classes to different folders. This is required
to prevent eclipse WTP from packaging test classes into /WEB-INF/lib
jar files.
Issue: SPR-9518
Refactor the existing merge-artifacts script to a full Gradle plugin.
The new plugin uses a 'merge' extension in favor of Gradle 'ext'
configuration and can be applied to all projects in a multi-module
build.
Any project that defines a 'merge.into' project will now implicitly
receive a dependency to that project. Furthermore other projects
with a dependency on 'merge.into' will receive a direct project
link within the IDE. For example: 'spring-webmvc-tiles3'
is merged into 'spring-webmvc' and 'spring-test-mvc' depends
on 'spring-webmvc'. Within the IDE 'spring-test-mvc' will show
dependencies to both 'spring-webmvc' and 'spring-webmvc-tiles'.
Issue: SPR-10042
Replace existing 'optional' and 'provided' Spring specific build
extensions with a new Gradle propdeps-plugin. Optional and Provided
dependencies are now defined use dependency configurations.
The new plugin does not currently support the notion of optional
runtime dependencies. All optional dependencies are implicitly
part of the 'compile' scope. This is an intentional design decision
that aims to keep both the plugin and the build simple. Since optional
dependencies are non-transitive this restriction should not cause
any real problems for existing users. The only existing dependency
affected is 'commons-io' in the 'spring-beans' project, however, this
was an optional compile scope dependency in the previous Spring 3.1
release.
Both provided and optional dependencies are no longer exported from
generated eclipse .classpath files. This fixes several tests that
would previously fail when running within eclipse. The servlet-api
specific elements of ide.gradle are also no longer required.
Issue: SPR-9656, SPR-10070
Previously the workaround for GRADLE-1116 only worked for the
merge-dist.gradle projects
Now the workaround is more generic and fixes errors that have since
been introduced when performing a fresh import into Eclipse.
The new jdiff task generates a report of API differences between the
current version (i.e. the value of `version` in gradle.properties) and
any older version of the framework, as specified by -DOLD_VERSION at
the command line, or defaulting to `previousVersion` in
gradle.properties.
Running the command requires a separate clone directory pinned to the
desired old version, as specified by -DOLD_VERSION_ROOT at the command
line. This creates challenges from a build automation perspective,
largely because Gradle doesn't (yet) have APIs for working with Git.
This task may be further automated and included in nightly CI runs, but
in the meantime, a number of reports back to 3.1.3.RELEASE have been
generated manually and uploaded to [1], where one can now find the
following entries in the directory listing:
- 3.1.3.RELEASE_to_3.2.0.RC1
- 3.2.0.M1_to_3.2.0.M2
- 3.2.0.M2_to_3.2.0.RC1
- 3.2.0.RC1_to_3.2.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
Ideally, the final entry there would be kept up-to-date on a daily
basis - again we may revisit doing so in the future. Going forward,
reports will be generated and uploaded manually on an as needed basis
and as part of the release process.
The goal of these reports are as follows:
- to ease the process of ensuring backward compatibility
- to aid in code reviews, particularly when reviewing large pull
requests
- to ease the process of creating migration guides for project
maintainers, i.e. to help us remember what's changed
- to allow ambitious end-users to discover what's been changing at the
API level without without needing to wait for detailed "what's new in
version X" and/or migration guide documentation
See documentation in jdiff.gradle for usage details.
Note that the jdiff-1.1.1 distribution as downloaded from [2] has been
added wholesale to the source tree under gradle/jdiff instead of
uploading JDiff jars to repo.springsource.org as we would normally do.
This is due to some unfortunate limitations in the implementation of the
jdiff ant task that require a phisical JDIFF_HOME directory. Checking in
the jars and various resources represents the simplest and most
pragmatic solution to this problem, though ambitious contributors are
free to do what's necessary to arrive at a more elegant arrangement.

Issue: SPR-9957
This setting was causing failures in the CI build, and was not present
prior to the recent updates to gradle wrapper generation.
This commit also simplifies the gradle wrapper customizations by placing
the logic in a doLast block within the original 'wrapper' task, as
to creating a second wrapper task and extending from the first.
- Fix deprecation warnings about dynamic properties; favor use of
"extra properties extensions" per [1]
- Certain such deprecations are still issued due to violations within
the docbook-reference plugin. These will be fixed in an upcoming
revision of the plugin, at which point spring-framework will upgrade
to depend on it and these warnings will be eliminated

Issue: SPR-9327
- Rename customized .wrapper to default gradle/wrapper directory for
out of the box compatibility with STS Gradle tooling
- Add .settings/gradle directory to capture defaults when using STS
Gradle tooling to import projects
