------------------------------------
Summary: Collect library dependencies into single dependency
Key: GEODE-8747
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-8747
Project: Geode
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: build
Reporter: Udo Kohlmeyer
Library dependencies like Spring, Jackson, Spring Security, etc. usually have
many dependencies. Which if used within a module, require the listing each of
these dependencies.
With the addition of ClassLoader Isolation a need arose, where these libraries
where loaded into a single ClassLoader, instead of being loaded by the
ClassLoaders of each of the modules that depended on these libraries.
This feature is to replace the following:
{code:groovy}
implementation('org.springframework:spring-core')
implementation('org.springframework:spring-beans')
implementation('org.springframework:spring-context')
implementation('org.springframework:spring-jcl')
implementation('org.springframework:spring-web')
implementation('org.springframework.shell:spring-shell')
{code}
with a single entry:
{code:groovy}
implementation(project(':frameworks:springframework'))
{code}
What this new construct allows for is a pattern closer to "using a framework"
without having to explicitly define all the library dependencies. In this
approach, we "use" a framework library, rather than knowing all of the internal
dependencies.
With this change, the ClassLoader isolation work, will only load each
dependency once.
Currently identified dependencies that require to be loaded only once are:
Spring and Jackson
