This commit makes sure the integration tests use the same versions as
the one managed by `spring-boot-dependencies` (including Maven plugins).
Closes gh-8947
Previously, each entry in loader.path could only refer to a standard
jar file. Refering to such a jar would add all of the classes in
the root of the jar to the class path.
This commit adds support for referencing a directory within a jar file
that contains one or more nested jars. For example:
$ java -jar -Dloader.path='jar:file:./lib.jar/!BOOT-INF/lib' my.jar
This will add all of the classes in all of that jars in the
BOOT-INF/lib directory of lib.jar to the class path.
See gh-8334
When an application is run as an executable archive with nested jars,
the application's own classes need to be able to load classes from
within the nested jars. This means that the application's classes need
to be loaded by the same class loader as is used for the nested jars.
When an application is launched with java -jar the contents of the
jar are on the class path of the app class loader, which is the
parent of the LaunchedURLClassLoader that is used to load classes
from within the nested jars. If the root of the jar includes the
application's classes, they would be loaded by the app class loader
and, therefore, would not be able to load classes from within the
nested jars.
Previously, this problem was resolved by LaunchedURLClassLoader being
created with a copy of all of the app class laoder's URLs and by
using an unconventional delegation model that caused it to skip its
parent (the app class loader) and jump straight to its root class
loader. This ensured that the LaunchedURLClassLoader would load both
the application's own classes and those from within any nested jars.
Unfortunately, this unusual delegation model has proved to be
problematic. We have seen and worked around some problems with Java
Agents (see gh-4911 and gh-863), but there are others (see gh-4868)
that cannot be made to work with the current delegation model.
This commit reworks LaunchedURLClassLoader to use a conventional
delegate model with the app class loader as its parent. With this
change in place, the application's own classes need to be hidden
from the app class loader via some other means. This is now achieved
by packaging application classes in BOOT-INF/classes (and, for
symmetry, nested jars are now packaged in BOOT-INF/lib). Both the
JarLauncher and the PropertiesLauncher (which supports the executable
jar layout) have been updated to look for classes and nested jars in
these new locations.

I think this is safe, judging by the integration tests, but I'm not
putting it in 1.2.x until we've had some feedback on it. The
integration tests actually had a bug that was masking this problem
because they were merging Properties from the whole classpath instead
of picking the first available resource (which is generally what
we do in Spring Boot applications for application.properties for
instance).
Fixes gh-3048
If user runs an executable archive then it and its lib directory will be
on the classpath. Entries from loader.path take precedence in a way that
should make sense to users (earlier wins like in CLASSPATH env var).
Also added new integration tests to verify the behaviour (big improvement
on the old ones, which probably aought to be beefed up to the same
standard).
Fixes gh-2314
Unify the versions used in integration tests launched by the
maven-invoker-plugin. Allows for already cached local copies to be
used, hopefully speeding up the build.
