Bump Gradle from 6.8.3 to 8.10.2 and increase the minimum required
Java version from 8 to 11 (SMACK-953).
The switch from Java 8 to 11 caused some Bytecode portability issues
regarding NIO Buffers. Java changed with version 9 the return type of
some subclasses of Buffer to return the specific Buffer type instead
of the Buffer superclass [JDK-4774077]. For example, ByteBuffer.filp()
previously returned Buffer, while it does return ByteBuffer now.
This sensible change was not reflected by the Android API [1], which
means that AnimalSniffer rightfully started to complain that there is
no method "ByteBuffer ByteBuffer.flip()" in Android, there is only
"Buffer ByteBuffer.flip()", and those are incompatible methods on
Java's Bytecode layer.
As workaround, this changes
return charBuffer.flip().toString();
to
((java.nio.Buffer) charBuffer).flip();
return charBuffer.toString();
to restore the Bytecode portability between Android and Java.
Errorprone also got new checks, of which JavaUtilDate and JdkObsolete
are wroth mentioning.
JavaUtilData basically strongly recommends to use Java's newer time
API over java.util.Date. But since Smack was Java 8 until now,
j.u.Date is widely used.
Similar JdkObsolete mentions obsolete JDK APIs, like data structures
like Vector and Stack. But mostly LinkedList, which should usually be
replaced by ArrayList. And this is what this commit largely does.

This is a complete redesign of what was previously
XmppNioTcpConnection. The new architecture allows to extend an XMPP
client to server (c2s) connection with new transport bindings and
other extensions.
This is needed for javadocAll since otherwhise there will be
smack-core/src/main/java/org/jivesoftware/smack/package-info.java:21:
warning: a package-info.java file has already been seen for
package org.jivesoftware.smack
warnings.
Also add minidns-core as dependency to smack-core. This requires
increasing the minimum required Android SDK level to 9, as this is
what MiniDNS requires.
in case hostAddresses was null, the isEmpty() check before the log()
invocation would throw an NPE. Thanks to Ingo Bauersachs for reporting
this.
Fixes SMACK-788.
on package layer instead of Declarative Service (DS) approach.
Restructuring and cleanup of initialization process to ensure that all
internal config files are found by the corresponding bundle
classloaders.
SMACK-343
Because of OSGi, no subproject of Smack (which is the same as a OSGi
bundle) must export a package that is already exported by another
subproject.
Therefore it was necessary to move the TCP and BOSH code into their own
packages: org.jivesoftware.smack.(tcp|bosh).
OSGi classloader restrictions also made it necessary to create a
Declarative Service for smack-extensions, smack-experimental and
smack-lagacy (i.e. smack subprojects which should be initialized), in
order to initialize them accordingly, as smack-core is, when used in a
OSGi environment, unable to load and initialize classes from other smack
bundles. OSGi's "Service Component Runtime" (SCR) will now take care of
running the initialization code of the particular Smack bundle by
activating its Declarative Service.
That is also the reason why most initialization related method now have an
additional classloader argument.
Note that due the refactoring, some ugly changes in XMPPTCPConnection
and its PacketReader and PacketWriter where necessary.
instead of using the old baseName=smack appendix=project.name approach,
we are now going convention over configuration and renaming the
subprojects directories to the proper name.
Having a prefix is actually very helpful, because the resulting
libraries will be named like the subproject. And a core-4.0.0-rc1.jar is
not as explicit about what it actually *is* as a
smack-core-4.0.0-rc1.jar.
