Previously, the CLI’s dependency management used proprietary Properties
file-based metadata to configure its dependency management. Since
spring-boot-gradle-plugin’s move to using the separate dependency
management plugin the CLI was the only user of this format.
This commit updates the CLI to use Maven boms to configure its
dependency management. By default it uses the spring-boot-dependencies
bom. This configuration can be augmented and overridden using the new
@DependencyManagementBom annotation which replaces @GrabMetadata.
Closes gh-2688
Closes gh-2439
Add a companion module that IDE developers can use to read configuration
metadata from multiple sources into a single repository.
ConfigurationMetadataRepository provides access to groups and items as
well as an harmonized view on "sources" (that is the POJOs that have
contributed to a given group).
Closes gh-1970
Adds an annotation processor to generates a JSON meta-data file at
compile time from @ConfigurationProperties items. Each meta-data file
can include an array or 'properties' and 'groups'.
A 'property' is a single item that may appear in a Spring Boot
'application.properties' file with a given value. For example,
'server.port' and 'server.context-path' are properties. Each property
may optionally include 'type' and 'description' attributes to provide
the data type (e.g. `java.lang.Integer`, `java.lang.String`) and
some short documentation (taken from the field javadoc) about what the
property is for. For consistency, the type of a primitive is translated
to its wrapper counterpart, i.e. `boolean` becomes `java.lang.Boolean`.
A 'group' provides a higher level grouping of properties. For example
the 'server.port' and 'server.context-path' properties are in the
'server' group.
Both 'property' and 'group' items may additional have 'sourceType' and
'sourceMethod' attributes to indicate the source that contributed them.
Users may use `META-INF/additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json`
to manually provide additionally meta-data that is not covered by
@ConfigurationProperties objects. The contents of this file will be
read and merged with harvested items. The complete meta-data file is
finally written to `META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json`.
See gh-1001
Add a gradle `ResolutionStrategy` that resolves missing version numbers
using the `spring-boot-dependencies` POM.
This commit also introduces a new `spring-boot-dependency-tools` module
that provides programmatic access to the `dependencyManagement` section
of the dependencies POM.
Fixed gh-262
The Git plugin was primarily being used to provide version information
that Boot's maven plugin can add into the MANIFEST.MF of the uber-jars
that it creates under the Spring-Boot-Commit-Id attribute.
This commit removes the Git plugin from Boot's own projects, but
leaves it in the spring-boot-starter-parent for use by Spring
Boot-based applications.
The attribute in the uber-jars' MANIFEST.MF has been replaced with a
Spring-Boot-Version attribute. The value of this attribute is the
implementation version of Repackager class's package.
Rework main build POM to be an aggregator pom that does not inherit
from any parent. Introduce new spring-boot-dependencies module to
act as a parent for both spring-boot-starter-parent and
spring-boot-parent.
