Add an annotation processor that generates properties files for certain
auto-configuration class annotations. Currently attribute values from
@AutoConfigureOrder, @AutoConfigureBefore, @AutoConfigureAfter and
@ConditionalOnClass annotations are stored.
The properties file will allow optimizations to be added in the
`spring-boot-autoconfigure` project. Primarily by removing the need
to ASM parse as many `.class` files.
See gh-7573
This commit udpdates the metadata annotation processor so that change
data from an incremental build is merged with the metadata from the
previous build.
Closes gh-2321
Previously, no configuration properties were discovered on a class using
lombok instead of regular getters/setters.
This commit adds a support for some of the lombok annotations,
specifically that is @Data, @Getter and @Setter. Provides the same
semantic as what lombok is generating.
Closes gh-2114
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`.
