Previously, the documentation included hand-written tables for the
application, production, and technical starters.
This commit replaces the hand-written tables with tables that are
generated automatically from all of the starter poms, thereby ensuring
that the documentation is automatically kept up-to-date as starters
are added and removed. An extra column provided a link to each
starter's pom on GitHub has also been added to the table. This makes
it easier for users to see exactly what each starter contains.
Closes gh-5267
This commit replaces Spring Boot's basic dependency management support
with separate dependency management plugin. This has a number of
benefits including:
1. A Maven bom can be used rather than a custom properties file
2. Dependency management is applied transitively rather than only to
direct dependencies
3. Exclusions are applied as they would be in Maven
4. Gradle-generated poms are automatically configured with the
appropriate dependency management
Closes gh-2133
Sadly, Gradle handle's exclusions differently to Maven even when it's
processing a Maven pom.
In this case groovy-all is pulled in via org.crashub:crash.shell where
we've excluded it. This is enough to prevent Maven from pulling in
groovy-all when you depend on the remote shell starter.
org.crashub:crash.shell is also pulled in as a transitive dependency
of a number of other dependencies and Gradle requires each of these
to also exclude groovy-all for it to actually be excluded.
This commit adds the additional exclusions that are required to make
Gradle's behaviour sane.
Fixes gh-2257
Update all starter POMs to remove commons-logging dependencies that are
not longer required when using the Spring Boot Gradle plugin.
