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 follow-up commit after 441d677644 ("Initial support for
XEP-0446: File Metadata Element"). It includes the following changes
1. Use idiomatic provider design for FileMetadataElementProvider
2. Add XEP-0264 and XEP-0446 to the list of supported XEPs (both where
added with441d6776447f)
This is a follow-up on 198c51356d ("Add initial support for XEP-0103
and XEP-0104: URL Address Information"), which
1. adds the entries to the support XEPs table
2. registers the provider
3. renames the package from url_address_information to urldata (aka.
the shortname of XEP-0130).
Exposes a method for a MUC to invite a user to the room, and adds a listener to the MultiUserChat listener to inform users of direct invitations they have received.
Fixes SMACK-932.
While markdown is easier to write, Smack's markdown documentation was
never tightly coupled with the source. For example, the markdown
documentation never provided links to the actual Java classes and
methods. This poses the risk that the documentation and the code
diverge over time. Furthermore, javadoc is constantly improving (for
example @snippet annotations) and I expect that one will be able to
write javadoc in markdown.
Fixes SMACK-928.
The previous approach of emitting a severe log message when a
state (descriptor) was unknown was misleading. There are valid cases
where some states are not known, if, for example, a module was
explicitly disabled.
Using Builder.failOnUnknownStates() in unit tests is far cleaner, as
the existence of unknown states is tested in a controlled environment:
one where are states are supposed to be known.
ExtensionElement is now a marker interface that requires all
implementation non-abstract classes to carry a static final QNAME
field (of type QName). This is verified by a new unit test.
Also FullyQualifiedElement is renamed to simply XmlElement. XmlElement
is used over ExtensionElement when implementing classes do not
statically know the qualified name of the XML elements they
represent. In general, XmlElement should be used sparingly, and every
XML element should be modeled by its own Java class (implementing
ExtensionElement).
This also removes the powermock dependency. Although powermock is a
fine library, it currently prevents dropping Junit4. And since we only
use the Whitebox API of powermock, this simply replaced powermock's
Whitebox with our own.
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.
