- Set the eclipse.jdt source and target compatibility to 1.8 in
ide.gradle.
- Updated the instructions in import-into-eclipse.sh to reflect minimum
requirements for building Spring Framework 4.1 against Java 8 with
Eclipse and STS
Issue: SPR-11831
Previously, the build script was configured to add ajbuilder to the set
of Eclipse/STS build commands, meaning that both javabuilder and
ajbuilder would be present for spring-aspects. This causes unpredictable
behavior, as these two builders compete with each other. As ajbuilder is
a functional superset of javabuilder, this commit ensures that only the
former is present for spring-aspects' .project file.
Also removed warning language in import-into-eclipse.sh about
spring-aspects failing after adding Git support, as this intermittent
problem was almost certainly an artifact of the situation described
above.
User may already have run `gradle build` successfully. This change
ensures that we do not unnecessarily remove these output directories
in order to avoid forcing the user to rebuild.
- Update building from source section with Gradle instructions
- Add import-into-eclipse.sh interactive helper script
- Add import-into-idea.md with steps and known issues
Note that use of STS Gradle tooling was attempted, but several issues
remain before it can handle the spring-framework build. In the meantime
the instructions laid out in import-into-eclipse provide an error-free
import.
