In Gradle 4.x, SourceSetOutput now has multiple classes directories
and getClassesDir() has been deprecated. This commit introduces the
use of reflection to use getClassesDirs() when it's available rather
than getClassesDir().
Closes gh-9559
Previously, bootRepackage's excludeDevtools property would be
overridden by the springBoot extension's excludeDevtools property.
This prevented devtools from being included by configuring it on the
repackaging task.
This commit corrects the logic so that the setting on the repackaging
task takes priority. It also adds some tests to verify the behaviour.
Closes gh-8308
In Gradle 3.3, when an API that will be removed in 4.0 is called, a
deprecation warning is output as part of the build. Users have noticed
his warning and, quite reasonably, complained about it. Unfortunately,
avoiding the warning requires the use of an API that was introduced in
Gradle 3.x which we can't use directly as we want to remain compatible
with Gradle 2.x.
This commit introduces the use of reflection to call
ProjectDependency.getTargetConfiguration() via reflection when it's
available (Gradle 3) and ProjectDependency.getProjectConfiguration()
when it's not (Gradle 2).
Closes gh-8154
Allow support for custom Lyout implementations with both the Maven
and Gradle plugin. Implementations of `LayoutFactory` can now be
specified to allow customization of the layout. In addition a
layout may now implement `CustomLoaderLayout` if it wishes to
write custom loader classes.
