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:
testsuite-osgi currently resolve its bundles from the local / remote maven repository, which means you will need to do `mvn install` before it can pick up the bundles. Beside this this also means that you may pick up old versions if you forgot to call `install` before running it.
Modifications:
Use alta-maven-plugin to be able to resolve bundles from the local build directory during the build.
Result:
No need to install jars before running the OSGI testsuite and ensure we always test with the latest jars.
Motivation:
Netty is very widely used which can lead to a lot of pain when we break API / ABI. We should make use japicmp-maven-plugin during the build to verify we do not introduce breakage by mistake.
Modifications:
- Add japicmp-maven-plugin to the build process
- Fix a method signature change in HttpProxyHandler that was flagged as a possible problem.
Result:
Ensure no API/ABI breakage accour between releases.
Motivation:
We can use the diamond operator these days.
Modification:
Use diamond operator whenever possible.
Result:
More modern code and less boiler-plate.
Motivation:
We should use the latest OpenJDK 12 release when running tests against Java12.
Modifications:
- Update to OpenJDK 12 ea22.
- Update pax exam version
- skip OSGI testsuite on Java12 as it does not work ea22 yet.
Result:
Use latest OpenJDK 12 version when running on the CI.
Motivation:
This transport is unique because it uses Java's blocking IO (java.io / java.net) under the hood. However it is not clear if this transport is actually useful so it should be removed.
Modifications:
- Remove OIO transport and RXTX transport which depend on it.
- Remove Oio*Sctp* implementations
- Remove PerThreadEventLoop* which was only used by OIO transport.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8510.
Motivation:
The UDT transport was marked as @Deprecated a long time ago as the underlying native library is not really maintained anymore. We should remove it as part of Netty 5.
Modifications:
Remove UDT transport
Result:
Dont try to maintain a transport which uses an unmaintained native lib internally.
Motivation:
Currently, the testing-osgi is set to skip if run with java>=9. That is not necessary when using a newer version of Felix.
Modification:
Update to Felix framework 5.6.10 (which has better jpms support), add some more --add-opens to not have WARN messages, and remove the skipOsgiTestsuite setting from the parent pom.
Result:
OSGi tests run and pass on java>=9.
Motiviation:
The OSGi Test suite runs without access to sun.misc.Unsafe, and so is a good place to put a test to avoid regressing #6548.
Modification:
Added a test-case that failed before https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/7432.
Result:
Test for fix included.
