If a Gradle build is using the Spring Boot Gradle plugin's support for
declaring dependencies without versions then they will be unable to
publish Maven artifacts from the build as the Gradle-generated pom
will fail to validate. This is because Gradle doesn't apply the
Boot-provided dependency versions to the dependencies in the generated
pom.
This can be addressed by configuring Gradle to generate a pom that
either imports spring-boot-dependencies into its dependency management
or that uses spring-boot-starter-parent as its parent. This commit
updates the documentation to document the need for this configuration
and to provide examples of how to do so.
Closes gh-1806
Update the executable JAR code to automatically unpack any entries
which include an entry comment starting `UNPACK:` to the temp folder.
The existing Maven and Gradle plugins have been updated with new
configuration options and the `spring-boot-tools` project has been
updated to write the appropriate entry comment based on a flag passed
in via the `Library` class.
This support has been added to allow libraries such a JRuby (which
assumes that `jruby-complete.jar` is always accessible as file) to work
with Spring Boot executable jars.
Fixes gh-1070
Add a Library class update the LibraryCallback interface and
implementations to use it. This change is in preparation for
an addition `unpack` flag that will be required to allow the
automatic unpacking of certain nested jars.
See gh-1070
Simplify the exclusion logic used in Gradle by implementing implicit
exclusions rather than trying to detect transitive excludes.
This commit reverts much of the code originally included to fix gh-1047
which adds far too much complexity to the build and still doesn't solve
the underlying issue.
Fixes gh-1103
Refactor and rework several areas of the Gradle plugin:
- Refactor package structure into functional areas and configure each
area separately via a new PluginFeatures interface.
- Convert BootRunTask to extend RunTask rather than attempting to
find existing RunTasks.
- Simplify agent integration by no longer needing specific BootRunTask
code.
- Update the repackage task to consider the `mainClassName` property
in addition to `springBoot.mainClass`.
- Automatically set `mainClassName` when calling `run` or `runBoot`
from `springBoot.mainClass` if there is one.
- Ensure that explicitly defined `main` options on JavaExec tasks always
take precedence.
Fixes gh-547, gh-820, gh-886, gh-912
Add a `versionManagement` gradle configuration which can be used to
provide alternative version meta-data. Primarily added so that the
Spring IO platform can provide version overrides without causing a
cyclic build dependency.
Fixes gh-750
This commit adds the generated site for the maven plugin alongside
the developer guide and javadoc. The maven plugin is available in
the "/maven-plugin" context.
The advanced information described in the developer guide have
been migrated to the plugin site as most the information is taken
from the code itself, which avoids duplication.
Fixes#749
Update reference documentation to include a note explaining that
"blessed" versions a chosen based on the gradle plugin version, and
that builds are repeatable.
Fixes gh-619
