Previously, the configuration property table generation was reading
both the main metadata and the additional metadata from each project.
This was unnecessary as the annotation processor will have already
merged the additional metadata into the main metadata before writing
it to disk. Processing both the main and additional metadata led to
a clash as the metadata overlapped. When the entry in the additional
metadata won the clash, the resulting entry in the configuration
property table would lose any details that aren't contained in the
additional metadata.
This commit updates the property table generation code to only use
the main metadata files.
Fixes gh-21131
Improve "@ConfigurationProperties vs. @Value" documentation with the
recommendation that kebab-case is used with the `@Value` annotation.
Closes gh-20507
When using constructor binding, if no properties are bound to
a nested property, the top-level instance will be created with a
null value for the nested property.
This commit introduces support for an empty `@DefaultValue` which
indicates that an instance of the nested property must be created
even if nothing is bound to it. It honors any `@DefaultValue`
annotations that the nested property might have in its constructor.
Closes gh-18917
`compileJava.dependsOn(processResources)` is not enough to ensure the
correct behavior. Using `dependsOn` only affects the execution order
(`processResources` before `compileJava`) but not the up-to-date check
of `compileJava`. After modifying
`META-INF/additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json`, the
`processResouces` task will considered out-of-date and will be
re-executed, but after that `compileJava` will still be considered
up-to-date which causes the changes not to be merged into
`META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json`
With this change the up-do-date check of `compileJava` is affected,
too. Therefore, it will correctly re-execute the
configuration-processor when
`META-INF/additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json` was changed.
