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.
As explained in commit a247b83cd9, the
XppDriver from XStream relies on the XPP3 library which publishes
javax.xml.namespace.QName as part of its JAR. The QName type is also
published by the java.xml system module in modular JREs (i.e., Java 9
or higher).
This results in a split package between the unnamed module and the
java.xml system module, which the Java Language Specification defines
as illegal (see §6.5.5.2 and §7.4.3).
Most Java compilers do not currently enforce this rule; however, the
Eclipse compiler does. This makes it impossible to use spring-oxm out
of the box in the Eclipse IDE. In addition, if bug JDK-8215739 is fixed
in future versions of other JDK implementations, this rule will affect
any users using spring-oxm with those JDKs.
This commit therefore switches the default driver in XStreamMarshaller
from XppDriver to DomDriver. Users can naturally switch back to the
XppDriver if they wish, since the driver is configurable.
Closes gh-27464
Prior to this commit, the Spring Framework projects could not be
imported into Eclipse IDE when using JDK 17 to build the projects.
The primary obstacle is the fact that Eclipse enforces a strict
"no split packages between the unnamed module and a system module" rule
when building with a "modular JDK" (such as JDK 17).

Since the bug (JDK-8215739) has not been fixed in OpenJDK, the strict
"no split packages" rule does not apply to the Java compiler used in
Spring Framework's Gradle build or the compiler in IntelliJ IDEA. Hence,
this issue only arrises when building the framework in Eclipse IDE.
This commit addresses this issue in the following affected projects.
- spring-oxm: removal of the dependency on XPP3 which publishes
javax.xml.namespace.QName as part of the JAR. The QName type is
also published by the java.xml JDK 17 system module. To make the
tests pass, we have switched to using the DomDriver instead of the
XppDriver in our XStream tests.
- spring-test: HtmlUnit has a transitive dependency on xml-apis which
publishes several packages also published by java.xml JDK 17 system
module. Thus, we have explicitly excluded the transitive dependency
on xml-apis for our `optional` configuration.

This commit fixes various issues with the configuration of the Gradle
Java toolchain in the build.
First, the configuration of build properties is fixed in the CI pipeline
because it wasn't properly checked.
The JMH plugin is also upgraded and we now configure its toolchain
support.
This commit also rewrites the XJC tasks in the spring-oxm module,
leveraging a Gradle plugin that creates actual compile tasks we can
configure.
See gh-25787
Prior to this commit, if an instance of XStreamMarshaller was used
concurrently from multiple threads without having first invoked the
afterPropertiesSet() method, the private `xstream` field could be
initialized multiple times resulting in a ConcurrentModificationException
in XStream's internal DefaultConverterLookup.
This commit fixes these concurrency issues by making the `xstream` field
volatile and by implementing a double-checked locking algorithm in
getXStream() to avoid concurrent instance creation.
Closes gh-25017
This commit adds support for the following two JVM system properties
that control the Gradle build for alternative JDKs (i.e., a JDK other
than the one used to launch the Gradle process).
- customJavaHome: absolute path to the alternate JDK installation to
use to compile Java code and execute tests. Setting this system
property causes Groovy 3.0 RC3 to be used instead of 2.5.x. This
system property is also used in spring-oxm.gradle to determine
whether JiBX is supported.
- customJavaSourceVersion: Java version supplied to the `--release`
command line flag to control the Java source and target compatibility
version. Supported versions include 9 or higher. Do not set this
system property if Java 8 should be used.
Examples:
./gradlew -DcustomJavaHome=/opt/java/jdk-14 test
./gradlew --no-build-cache -DcustomJavaHome=/opt/java/jdk-14 test
./gradlew -DcustomJavaHome=/opt/java/jdk-14 -DcustomJavaSourceVersion=14 test
See gh-24474
Previously, the genJaxb task's input files were compared using
absolute paths. This would result in a cache miss for two builds
with identical files contents and different root directories.
This commit updates the path sensitivity of the input to be relative
to the build's root directory, thereby allowing caching to work
irrespective of the source checkout location.
Closes gh-23704
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
