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.
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:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
