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.

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.
When using the Enhanced Debugger, a UI application is very noticably slow, especially around establishing a new
session. Profiling shows that much of the overhead is caused by XMPP-data being added to the text areas that are
on the "raw sent packets" and "raw received packets" tabs of the debugger.
This commit improves performance (considerably) by:
- properly limiting the amount of lines in those text areas (this was intended but broken in the old implementation)
- buffering data to be added in batches, to reduce the amount of invocations to JTextChat.append()
As an aside: some newline-based formatting was removed. As the provided data is now already formatted, retaining that
did not make much sense anymore.
- Reduce the amount of types that are subtypes of NamedElement. See
javadoc of NamedElement for rationale.
- Work more with XmlEnvironment in XmlStringBuilder.
- Some minor changes to XmlStringBuilder API.
This is needed for javadocAll since otherwhise there will be

This commit adds
- SmackReactor / NIO
- a framework for finite state machine connections
- support for Java 8
- pretty printed XML debug output
It also
- reworks the integration test framework
- raises the minimum Android API level to 19
- introduces XmppNioTcpConnection
Furthermore fixes SMACK-801 (at least partly). Java 8 language
features are available, but not all runtime library methods. For that
we would need to raise the Android API level to 24 or higher.
- Lines containing tab(s) after space
- Usage of printStackTrace
- Usage of println
- Add SupressionCommentFilter module
SuppressionCommentFilter can be enabled with
// CHECKSTYLE:OFF
and disabled with
// CHECKSTYLE:ON
