Build Nomulus with Java 17 (#2255)
This PR makes it possible to build the Nomulus code base using Java 17.
Building with Java 11 continue to be possible and the resulting bytecodes are
still at Java 8 level. Also upgraded Gradle to 8.5.

There are several necessary changes to make this happen:

1. Some Gradle plugins need to be upgraded to support Java 17, notably
errorprone. As a result, a lot more "errors" were caught and corrected.

2. All test code are now built and run at Java 8 level. Previously it was left
undefined (which defaults to the version of the compiler) and had led to
situations where we inadvertently called Java 8+ features in production that
are not caught by tests. The change also made the java8compatibility subproject
obsolete, which is therefore removed.

3. Removed the docs subproject. Its main use is to generate flows.md, but it
relies heavily on Java internal APIs that have changed significant with each
version. Upgrading to Java 11 required extensive refactoring of the code there,
and Java 17 again removed many APIs that were used. I don't think it is worth
the maintenance effort just to have a tool to generate flows.md which no one
actually reads.

4. Capped a few GCP dependencies because the latest version depends on
 grpc-java >= 1.59.0, which includes a runtime incompatibility
 (https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/releases/tag/v1.59.0).

README.md Break circular dependency between core and util (#379) 2019-11-21 15:36:55 -05:00

Summary

This project holds some of the general-purpose utility classes that do not rely on the registry domain model.

This is an intermediate step in untangling the circular dependencies between :core and :util subprojects.
