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
Includes fixes for invalid exception declarations in Mockito-based unit tests. Also includes FreeMarker 2.3.27, Commons Pool 2.4.3, JSON-P 1.1.2.
Issue: SPR-16157
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.
Issue: SPR-15885
