Previously, the WebFlux starter declared direct dependencies on Hibernate Validator
and the Jakarta EE validation API. This meant that it required two exclusions to
exclude validation from a reactive web application that did not need it.
This commit updates the WebFlux starter to get its validation dependencies via a
dependency on the validation starter. This allows validation to be excluded
using a single exclusion. The EL dependency from the validation starter has
been excluded to allow the EL implementation from the underlying container
starter to continue to be used instead.

This commit reworks 40d8726 as it has introduced an unfortunate side
effect for those who are using a starter with optional starter
dependencies.
`spring-boot-starter-web` defines the json and the tomcat starter. The
latter is part of a set of starters that do not bring the base starter
and the former can be excluded to use gson rather than jackson.
When such arrangement happens, spring-boot-starter-web no longer defines
the base starter (and therefore doesn't bring the core dependencies
that Spring Boot needs to bootstrap).
This commit reviews the starters that define optional starters and
reintroduce the base starter.
Closes gh-14076
Move projects to better reflect the way that Spring Boot is released.
The following projects are under `spring-boot-project`:
- `spring-boot`
- `spring-boot-autoconfigure`
- `spring-boot-tools`
- `spring-boot-starters`
- `spring-boot-actuator`
- `spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure`
- `spring-boot-test`
- `spring-boot-test-autoconfigure`
- `spring-boot-devtools`
- `spring-boot-cli`
- `spring-boot-docs`
See gh-9316
This library is required for parsing multipart requests asynchronously
in Spring WebFlux. Framework treats this as an optional dependency, but
Boot auto-configures multipart support with Servlet by default.
Closes gh-10073
This commit adds a new json starter that gathers the core bits to read
and write json with dedicated Java 8 extensions.
The web-related starters have been improved to use the new starter
rather than relying on `jackson-databind` directly.
Closes gh-9297
In the web starter we shouldn't depend explicitly on any EL
implementation, otherwise when people build wars and deploy
them in containers that have their own EL there is a conflict.
We can still depend on hibernate-validator to support
JSR-303 in web apps because the EL implementation comes with
the container.
Fixes gh-5454
Previously, the documentation included hand-written tables for the
application, production, and technical starters.
This commit replaces the hand-written tables with tables that are
generated automatically from all of the starter poms, thereby ensuring
that the documentation is automatically kept up-to-date as starters
are added and removed. An extra column provided a link to each
starter's pom on GitHub has also been added to the table. This makes
it easier for users to see exactly what each starter contains.
Closes gh-5267
Previously, the only starter that provided validation was
spring-boot-starter-web which included Hibernate Validator and
Tomcat's EL implementation. This left users writing non-web
applications to figure out the dependencies for themselves. They would
sometimes run into difficulties as Hibernate Validator's need for an
EL implementation would trip them up.
This commit adds a new starter, spring-boot-starter-validation,
which provides both Hibernate Validator and Tomcat's EL
implementation. spring-boot-starter-web has been updated to depend on
this starter rather than depending on Hibernate Validator directly.
Closes gh-2678
This commit replaces Spring Boot's basic dependency management support
with separate dependency management plugin. This has a number of
benefits including:
1. A Maven bom can be used rather than a custom properties file
2. Dependency management is applied transitively rather than only to
direct dependencies
3. Exclusions are applied as they would be in Maven
4. Gradle-generated poms are automatically configured with the
appropriate dependency management
