Part of #67335.
Add tasks for generating release notes, using information stored in files
in the repository:
* `generateReleaseNotes` - generates new release notes, release
highlights and breaking changes
* `validateChangelogs` - validates that all the changelog YAML files are
well-formed (confirm to schema, have required fields depending on the
`type` value)
I also changed `Version` to allow a `v` prefix in relaxed mode
This was accidentally set to 15.
should be 11 not 15 taken from the minimumRuntimeVersion file and not from minimumCompilerVersion
this also fixes the checkstyle ides setup
The minimum compiler version is that which we require a developer to use
when building Elasticsearch. This version is updated as newer versions
of Java are released. In contrast, the minimum runtime version is that
which Elasticsearch itself needs. In 7.x this is Java 8, and in master
this is Java 11. Historically the version we require for gradle code has
had to be the minimum runtime version since all the gradle code was
distributed for plugin developers.
Now that the external build tools is separated from our internal tools,
the internal tools are no longer bound by that runtime requirement.
Instead, they can use the latest Java, so that we can use new features
within our internal tools. This commit switches the source compatibiltiy
version for the internal build tools to use the minimum compiler version.
* Remove buildSrc directory
version properties moved to build-tools-internal and plugin descriptor
moved to build-tools. The docs build has been updated accordingly
* More cleanup
This moves the public build api and plugins into a separete included build called 'build-tools'
and we removed the duplication of included buildSrc twice (2nd import as build-tools).
The elasticsearch internal build logic is kept in build-tools-internal as included build which allows us better handling of this project that its just being an buildSrc project (e.g. we can reference tasks directly from the root build etc.)
Convention logic applied to both projects will live in a new build-conventions project.
