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.
This allows to avoid redundant XML namespaces within IQs, like for
example here:
<iq xmlns='jabber:client' id='EKP8I-1' type='set'>
<jingle xmlns='urn:xmpp:jingle:1' action='content-accept' sid='MySession'>
<content xmlns='urn:xmpp:jingle:1' creator='initiator' name='Hello world'>
</content>
</jingle>
</iq>

XmlPullParser.getName() only returns a result if the current parser
event is START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT. If this is not the case, then
the method may throw (if StAX is used).

Refactored using
find . -type f -name "*.java" |\
xargs sed -i -E |\
's/\.createStanzaCollectorAndSend\((\w+)\)\.nextResultOrThrow\(\);/.sendIqRequestAndWaitForResponse(\1);/'
and some manual refactoring.
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 resulted in a refactoring of the Providers and parsing
Exceptions. NumberFormatException and ParseException can now be thrown
directly, the wrapping in a SmackParsingException is down at a higher
layer, i.e. in AbstractProvider.
Apply builder pattern to form fields and replace getVariable() with
getFieldName(). Refer to the field name as "field name" instead of
"variable" everyone, just as XEP-0004 does.
Improve the high-level form API: introduce FilledForm and FillableForm
which perform stronger validation and consistency checks.
Also add FormFieldRegistry to enable processing of 'submit' forms
where the form field types are omitted.
Smack also now does omit the form field type declaration on 'submit'
type forms, as it is allowed by XEP-0004.
Returning a generic would allow for
List<ExtensionElement> list = stanza.getExtension("foo", "bar");
to compile (Note the we are calling getExtension(), not
getExtension*s*()).
Users are encouraged to use the type safe getExtension(Class<? extends
ExtensionElement) variant instead.
Fixes SMACK-825.
- 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
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.
Introducing Smack's own XmlPullParser interface which tries to stay as
compatible as possible to XPP3. The interface is used to either wrap
StAX's XMLStreamReader if Smack is used on Java SE, and XPP3's
XmlPullParser if Smack is used on on Android.
Fixes SMACK-591.
Also introduce JUnit 5 and non-strict javadoc projects.
