With a Java 8 baseline in place for quite some time now, it no longer
makes sense to refer to features such as annotations as "Java 5
annotations".
This commit also removes old `Tiger*Tests` classes, thereby avoiding
duplicate execution of various tests.
Since Spring Framework 5.3, BeanUtils.copyProperties() honors generics
in the source and target property types (see gh-24187); however, this
refinement of the contract was not properly documented prior to this
commit. In addition, the refinement can be a breaking change for users
who were relying on the previous unreliable behavior.
This commit therefore clarifies the behavior for generics support in
BeanUtils.copyProperties() and introduces a table of example matches
and mismatches when generics are involved.
Closes gh-27259
This commit introduces Javadoc to explain the difference between
init/destroy method names when such methods are private, namely that a
private method is registered via its qualified method name; whereas, a
non-private method is registered via its simple name.
See gh-28083
The getBeanFactory() method has been obsolete for more than 13 years
since it was superseded by the getRegistry() method in the
BeanDefinitionReader interface.
Closes gh-27875
In order to catch Javadoc errors in the build, we now enable the
`Xwerror` flag for the `javadoc` tool. In addition, we now use
`Xdoclint:syntax` instead of `Xdoclint:none` in order to validate
syntax within our Javadoc.
This commit fixes all resulting Javadoc errors and warnings.
This commit also upgrades to Undertow 2.2.12.Final and fixes the
artifact names for exclusions for the Servlet and annotations APIs.
The incorrect exclusion of the Servlet API resulted in the Servlet API
being on the classpath twice for the javadoc task, which resulted in the
following warnings in previous builds.
javadoc: warning - Multiple sources of package comments found for package "javax.servlet"
javadoc: warning - Multiple sources of package comments found for package "javax.servlet.http"
javadoc: warning - Multiple sources of package comments found for package "javax.servlet.descriptor"
javadoc: warning - Multiple sources of package comments found for package "javax.servlet.annotation"
Closes gh-27480
In order to be able to use text blocks and other new Java language
features, we are upgrading to a recent version of Checkstyle.
The latest version of spring-javaformat-checkstyle (0.0.28) is built
against Checkstyle 8.32 which does not include support for language
features such as text blocks. Support for text blocks was added in
Checkstyle 8.36.
In addition, there is a binary compatibility issue between
spring-javaformat-checkstyle 0.0.28 and Checkstyle 8.42. Thus we cannot
use Checkstyle 8.42 or higher.
In this commit, we therefore upgrade to spring-javaformat-checkstyle
0.0.28 and downgrade to Checkstyle 8.41.
This change is being applied to `5.3.x` as well as `main` in order to
benefit from the enhanced checking provided in more recent versions of
Checkstyle.
Closes gh-27481
