ASM has been patched to accept 1.8 bytecode simply through removing an assertion. As a consequence, we have an embedded copy of the ASM sources now instead of jarjar'ing the original ASM jar. The sources originate from ASM 4.1; for CGLIB 3.0 compatibility, a further assertion has been removed.
Issue: SPR-9639
Previously aspects.gradle used the Gradle conventions for the source
and target compatibility. This means that unless the conventions were
updated the current JDK would be used for both source and target
compatibilty. Since an update to build.gradle changed to configure the
compileJava and compileTestJava tasks explicitly spring-aspects has
been compiled with JDK 7 compatibility.
This commit explicitly uses the source and target compatibility from
spring-core to ensure that aspects.gradle is kept up to date.
Issue: SPR-10161
- Support external Javadoc links using Gradle's javadoc.options.links
- Fix all other Javadoc warnings, such as typos, references to
non-existent (or no longer existent) types and members, etc,
including changes related to the Quartz 2.0 upgrade (SPR-8275) and
adding the HTTP PATCH method (SPR-7985).
- Suppress all output for project-level `javadoc` tasks in order to
hide false-negative warnings about cross-module @see and @link
references (e.g. spring-core having a @see reference to spring-web).
Use the `--info` (-i) flag to gradle at any time to see project-level
javadoc warnings without running the entire `api` task. e.g.
`gradle :spring-core:javadoc -i`
- Favor root project level `api` task for detection of legitimate
Javadoc warnings. There are now zero Javadoc warnings across the
entirety of spring-framework. Goal: keep it that way.
- Remove all @link and @see references to types and members that exist
only in Servlet <= 2.5 and Hibernate <= 4.0, favoring 3.0+ and 4.0+
respectively. This is necessary because only one version of each of
these dependencies can be present on the global `api` javadoc task's
classpath. To that end, the `api` task classpath has now been
customized to ensure that the Servlet 3 API and Hibernate Core 4 jars
have precedence.
- SPR-8896 replaced our dependency on aspectjrt with a dependency on
aspectjweaver, which is fine from a POM point of view, but causes
a spurious warning to be emitted from the ant iajc task that it
"cannot find aspectjrt on the classpath" - even though aspectjweaver
is perfectly sufficient. In the name of keeping the console quiet, a
new `rt` configuration has been added, and aspectjrt added as a
dependency to it. In turn, configurations.rt.asPath is appended to
the iajc classpath during both compileJava and compileTestJava for
spring-aspects.

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
- Fix compileTestJava issue in which test classes were not being
compiled or run
- Use built-in eclipse.project DSL instead of withXml closure
to add AspectJ nature and builder
- Rename {aspectJ=>aspects}.gradle and format source
