Before this PR

It's pretty hard to roll out the baseline-class-uniqueness plugin because it currently is quite an "all or nothing" thing - either you're 100% compliant or else it fails. We haven't really invested in this up until now, because not that much seems to go wrong.

HOWEVER - a recent c-j-r dependency upgrade brought in new 'jakarta' jars, which are renamed versions of javax ones (e.g. javax.ws.rs:javax.ws.rs-api:2.1 and jakarta.ws.rs:jakarta.ws.rs-api:2.1.6 are pretty much the same thing). People are now starting to get confusing runtime errors from these. Internally, I've got a plugin to automatically fix the problem (gradle-jakarta-renames), but in order to roll that out, I want to ensure people can code-review the changes that it causes.

After this PR

==COMMIT_MSG==
Users can now apply plugin: 'com.palantir.baseline-class-uniqueness' even if they are not yet fully compliant, as the plugin will now just record conflicts in a lock-file. This makes it easier to incrementally improve projects, rather than asking people to fix things in a big-bang way.
==COMMIT_MSG==

@raiju for SA who cared about this stuff before

before merging

  • tests
  • decide if we want to delete the old stuff too?

Possible downsides?

  • There is lots of room to make the class uniqueness analyzing more efficient (it's currently pretty naiive)... If 100 projects all run baseline-class-uniqueness and depend on one jar, I think that jar will get unpacked and analyzed 100 times.
  • more lock files might confuse people

Description

The com.palantir.baseline-class-uniqueness plugin now records conflicts in a baseline-class-uniqueness.lock file. This should be checked-in to git and makes it easier to incrementally improve projects, rather than requiring a big-bang migration.

I think we may want to provide a different message if new duplicates appear vs when problems are fixed, or mention here that it's dangerous to have duplicate classes on the classpath and explain why it's worth spending time to fix.
Otherwise I think folks will see "run X to update locks" and they'll ./X.

+ "cause different behaviour depending on classpath ordering.\n"
+ "# Run ./gradlew checkClassUniqueness --write-locks to update this file\n\n";

// not marking this as an Input, because we want to re-run if the *contents* of a configuration changes

shouldn't the contents only change if a dependency on the configuration changes?

Configurations are not Serializable, so I can't just mark a list of them as an @Input.

you can take the configuration as an input by annotating it with @classpath

I think that @classpath annotation would work if I had just a single configuration, but in order to preserve the ability to analyze multiple configurations, I don't have just one single configuration here but a bunch of them?

Instead of storing a set of configurations could you create a single configuration which extends from all of the provided configurations

I dunno, it seems that has a slight risk of false positives... e.g. if we're analyzing two configurations foo and bar and we move a jar from foo -> bar. In the big clobbered configuration there would be no change, but actually I would expect the lockfile to change.

ok no big deal

FWIW I've been iterating on this with share-link-service and it nicely highlights all the jakarta problems, then when I apply gradle-jakarta-renames they all go away.
