Motivation:
There are lots of imports which are unused. We should get rid of them to make the code look better,
Modification:
Removed unused imports.
Result:
No unused imports.
Motivation:
JUnit 5 is more expressive, extensible, and composable in many ways, and it's better able to run tests in parallel.
Modifications:
Use JUnit5 in tests
Result:
Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10757
Motivation:
File.createTempFile(String, String)` will create a temporary file in the system temporary directory if the 'java.io.tmpdir'. The permissions on that file utilize the umask. In a majority of cases, this means that the file that java creates has the permissions: `-rw-r--r--`, thus, any other local user on that system can read the contents of that file.
This can be a security concern if any sensitive data is stored in this file.
This was reported by Jonathan Leitschuh <jonathan.leitschuh@gmail.com> as a security problem.
Modifications:
Use Files.createTempFile(...) which will use safe-defaults when running on java 7 and later. If running on java 6 there isnt much we can do, which is fair enough as java 6 shouldnt be considered "safe" anyway.
Result:
Create temporary files with sane permissions by default.
Motiviation:
We need to ensure we only register the methods for unix-native-common once as otherwise it may have strange side-effects.
Modifications:
- Add extra method that should be called to signal that we need to register the methods. The registration will only happen once.
- Adjust code to make use of it.
Result:
No more problems due incorrect registration of these methods.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/10814 did fix a bug where we did try to call memoryAddress() even tho this is not supported. Unfortunally this fix was only applied for one method and so we missed another method which then could throw an exception when we called memoryAddress()
Modifications:
- Also fix the memoryAddress(offset) method.
_ Adjust unit test to also test this.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10813 completely.
Motivation:
In some enviroments sun.misc.Unsafe is not present. We should support these as well.
Modifications:
Fallback to JNI if we can't directly access the memoryAddress of the buffer.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10813
Motivation:
https in xmlns URIs does not work and will let the maven release plugin fail:

Modifications:
Use http for xmlns
Result:
Be able to use maven release plugin
Motivation:
JUnit 5 is the new hotness. It's more expressive, extensible, and composable in many ways, and it's better able to run tests in parallel. But most importantly, it's able to directly run JUnit 4 tests.
This means we can update and start using JUnit 5 without touching any of our existing tests.
I'm also introducing a dependency on assertj-core, which is like hamcrest, but arguably has a nicer and more discoverable API.
Modification:
Add the JUnit 5 and assertj-core dependencies, without converting any tests at time time.
Result:
All our tests are now executed through the JUnit 5 Vintage Engine.
Also, the JUnit 5 test APIs are available, and any JUnit 5 tests that are added from now on will also be executed.
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.
