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
This commit reorganizes tasks and scripts in the build to only apply
them where they're needed. We're considering here 3 "types" of projects
in our build:
* the root project, handling documentation, publishing, etc
* framework modules (a project that's published as a spring artifact)
* internal modules, such as the BOM, our coroutines support and our
integration-tests
With this change, we're strealining the project configuration for all
spring modules and only applying plugins when needed (typically our
kotlin support).
See gh-23282
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.
