Because of security and broader industry support, support for several
remoting technologies is now deprecated and scheduled for removal in
Spring Framework 6.0.
This commit deprecates the following remoting technologies:
* HTTPInvoker
* RMI
* Hessian
* JMS remoting
Other remoting technologies like EJB or JAXWS might be deprecated in the
future depending on industry support.
Closes gh-25379
Prior to this commit, the Spring Framework build would partially use the
dependency management plugin to import and enforce BOMs.
This commit applies the dependency management plugin to all Java
projects and regroups all version management declaration in the root
`build.gradle` file (versions and exclusions).
Some versions are overridden in specific modules for
backwards-compatibility reasons or extended support.
This commit also adds the Gradle versions plugin that checks for
dependency upgrades in artifact repositories and produces a report; you
can use the following:
./gradlew dependencyUpdates
Due to a bug (or "unintentional feature") in JUnit 4, overridden test
and lifecycle methods not annotated with @Test, @Before, @After, etc.
are still executed as test methods and lifecycle methods; however,
JUnit Jupiter does not support that. Thus, prior to this commit, some
overridden test and lifecycle methods were no longer executed after the
migration from JUnit 4 to JUnit Jupiter.
This commit addresses this issue for such known use cases, but there
are likely other such use cases within Spring's test suite.
See gh-23451
Prior to this commit, the Spring Framework build would be using the
propdeps Gradle plugin to introduce two new configurations to the build:
"optional" and "provided". This would also configure related conventions
for IDEs, adding those configurations to published POMs.
This commit removes the need for this plugin and creates instead a
custom plugin for an "optional" configuration. While the Eclipse IDE
support is still supported, there is no need for specific conventions
for IntelliJ IDEA anymore.
This new plugin does not introduce the "provided" scope, as
"compileOnly" and "testCompileOnly" are here for that.
Also as of this commit, optional/provided dependencies are not published
with the Spring Framework modules POMs annymore.
Generally, these dependencies do not provide actionable information to
the developers reading / tools consuming the published POMs.
Optional/Provided dependencies are **not**:
* dependencies you can add to enable some supported feature
* dependencies versions that you can use to figure out CVEs or bugs
* dependencies that might be missing in existing Spring applications
In the context of Spring Framework, optional dependencies are just
libraries are Spring is compiling against for various technical reasons.
With that in mind, we are not publishing that information anymore.
See gh-23282
This commit migrates to the MockitoJUnitRunner where sensible, which
will later allow for an easier migration to Mockito's extension for
JUnit Jupiter.
In addition, this commit deletes unnecessary stubbing for various mocks
and polishes test fixture setup in various test classes.
