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
Remove test-jar artifacts from Maven projects and relocate classes. The
majority of utilities now live in the `spring-boot-testsupport` module.
This update will help us to deploy artifacts using the standard Maven
deploy plugin in the future (which doesn't support the filtering of
individual artifacts).
Fixes gh-9493
The testing support in the CLI has proven to be more trouble than
it's worth. Our recommendation is that, once an app gets to the stage
of requiring a test suite, it should be converted to a Maven or
Gradle project. This makes it easy to version, publish, deploy etc
using the vast ecosystems of the two build systems.
As part of this change, the dependency management for Spock has been
moved into spring-boot-parent, thereby making it "private". This
allows it to continue to manage the test-only Spock dependency in
spring-boot-test without also managing the version of Spring that is
used by a user's application.

When an application is run as an executable archive with nested jars,
the application's own classes need to be able to load classes from
within the nested jars. This means that the application's classes need
to be loaded by the same class loader as is used for the nested jars.
When an application is launched with java -jar the contents of the
jar are on the class path of the app class loader, which is the
parent of the LaunchedURLClassLoader that is used to load classes
from within the nested jars. If the root of the jar includes the
application's classes, they would be loaded by the app class loader
and, therefore, would not be able to load classes from within the
nested jars.
Previously, this problem was resolved by LaunchedURLClassLoader being
created with a copy of all of the app class laoder's URLs and by
using an unconventional delegation model that caused it to skip its
parent (the app class loader) and jump straight to its root class
loader. This ensured that the LaunchedURLClassLoader would load both
the application's own classes and those from within any nested jars.
Unfortunately, this unusual delegation model has proved to be
problematic. We have seen and worked around some problems with Java
Agents (see gh-4911 and gh-863), but there are others (see gh-4868)
that cannot be made to work with the current delegation model.
This commit reworks LaunchedURLClassLoader to use a conventional
delegate model with the app class loader as its parent. With this
change in place, the application's own classes need to be hidden
from the app class loader via some other means. This is now achieved
by packaging application classes in BOOT-INF/classes (and, for
symmetry, nested jars are now packaged in BOOT-INF/lib). Both the
JarLauncher and the PropertiesLauncher (which supports the executable
jar layout) have been updated to look for classes and nested jars in
these new locations.
