The upgrade to Gradle 4.0 broke the custom Eclipse support in the
Spring Framework build.
This commit includes the following changes which re-enable support for
Eclipse in the build.
- Switched to ProjectDependency(String) constructor
- Updated regular expression that matches against project output
dependencies to include more than one subdirectory between "build"
and "main"|"test".
Issue: SPR-15862
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
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.
- 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
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.
