As of Spring Framework 5.3, it is now possible to use `PathPatternParser`
to parse and match request mapping path patterns, as an alternative to
the current default `AntPathMatcher`.
This new implementation has been used for a while in Spring WebFlux and
it’s been designed for consistency and performance.
This commit introduces a new configuration property for opting-in this
new variant:
`spring.mvc.pathmatch.matching-strategy=path_pattern_parser`
The default option is still `ant_path_matcher` for now, but we might
change the default in future versions since Spring Framework considers
it the best choice for modern applications.
There are several behavior differences with this new variant:
* double wildcards `"**"` are rejected when used in the middle patterns,
this is only allowed as the last matching segment in a pattern.
* it is incompatible with some path matching options, like
suffix-pattern, registered-suffix-pattern or configuring a Servlet
prefix on the `DispatcherServlet` (`spring.mvc.servlet.path=/test`)
This commit introduces two `FailureAnalyzer` implementations to guide
developers when facing those issues.

Previously, spring-boot-docs used the java-base-plugin and then added
configuration on top. This has proven to be error prone, with the most
recent problem being that the tests were not being compiled and run.
This commit changes approach and applies the java plugin to the project
instead of the java-base plugin. Now, rather than adding the necessary
configuration to the base, the unwanted pieces of the java plugin's
configuration – specifically the jar and javadoc tasks – are disabled
instead. The DeployedPlugin has also been updated so that it does not
create a publication from the java component for projects that have a
disabled jar task.
Closes gh-22284
Previously, the configuration property table generation was reading
both the main metadata and the additional metadata from each project.
This was unnecessary as the annotation processor will have already
merged the additional metadata into the main metadata before writing
it to disk. Processing both the main and additional metadata led to
a clash as the metadata overlapped. When the entry in the additional
metadata won the clash, the resulting entry in the configuration
property table would lose any details that aren't contained in the
additional metadata.
This commit updates the property table generation code to only use
the main metadata files.
Fixes gh-21131
Previously, Spring Boot's modules published Gradle Module Metadata
(GMM) the declared a platform dependency on spring-boot-dependencies.
This provided versions for each module's own dependencies but also had
they unwanted side-effect of pulling in spring-boot-dependencies
constraints which would influence the version of other dependencies
declared in the same configuration. This was undesirable as users
should be able to opt in to this level of dependency management, either
by using the dependency management plugin or by using Gradle's built-in
support via a platform dependency on spring-boot-dependencies.
This commit reworks how Spring Boot's build uses
spring-boot-dependencies and spring-boot-parent to provide its own
dependency management. Configurations that aren't seen by consumers are
configured to extend a dependencyManagement configuration that has an
enforced platform dependency on spring-boot-parent. This enforces
spring-boot-parent's version constraints on Spring Boot's build without
making them visible to consumers. To ensure that the versions that
Spring Boot has been built against are visible to consumers, the
Maven publication that produces pom files and GMM for the published
modules is configured to use the resolved versions from the module's
runtime classpath.
Fixes gh-21911
