Motivation:
netty-jni-util is now also hosted on maven central. Let's use it
Modifications:
Adjust plugins to just unpack netty-jni-util and use it
Result:
Be able to use what is in the maven cache for netty-jni-util
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only register native methods once as otherwise we may end up in an "invalid" state. The problem here was that before it was basically the responsibility the user of transport-native-unix-common to register the methods. This is error prone as there may be multiple users of these on the classpath at the same time.
Modifications:
- Provide a way to init native lib without register the native methods of the provided classes. This is needed to be able to re-use functionality which is exposed to our internal native code
- Use flatten plugin to correctly resolve classifier and so have the correct dependency
- Call Unix.* method to ensure we register the methods correctly once
- Include native lib as well in the native jars of unix-common
Result:
Be able to have multiple artifacts of the classpath that depends on the unix-common. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty-incubator-transport-io_uring/issues/15
Motivation:
We had a lot of duplication in our jni code which was mostly due macros but also related to how we support shading. By using netty-jni-util we can share all the code between netty and netty-tcnative ( and possible other jni based netty projects in the future).
Modifications:
- Use netty-jni-util and re-use its macros / functions
- Remove duplicated code
- Adjust build files
Result:
Less code duplication for JNI
Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Motivation:
We currently don't have a native transport which supports kqueue https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2. This can be useful for BSD systems such as MacOS to take advantage of native features, and provide feature parity with the Linux native transport.
Modifications:
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common module with all the java classes and JNI code for generic unix items. This module will build a static library for each unix platform, and included in the dynamic libraries used for JNI (e.g. transport-native-epoll, and eventually kqueue).
- Make a new transport-native-unix-common-tests module where the tests for the transport-native-unix-common module will live. This is so each unix platform can inherit from these test and ensure they pass.
- Add a new transport-native-kqueue module which uses JNI to directly interact with kqueue
Result:
JNI support for kqueue.
