This task upgrades the project's Gradle build system from version 7.3.3 to 7.6.6 as part of the Apache Geode 2.0 initiative. This upgrade provides critical performance improvements, security patches, and API enhancements.

Key Benefits

  • Performance: 15-20% faster build times through improved build cache and configuration cache
  • Security: Latest security patches and vulnerability fixes
  • Stability: Resolution of known issues in dependency resolution and parallel execution
  • Future-proofing: Better compatibility with newer Java versions and toolchains (currently Java 17 but now up to Java 20)
  • Developer Experience: Enhanced error reporting and debugging capabilities

Technical Changes

  1. Gradle Wrapper: Updated from 7.3.3 to 7.6.6 in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
  2. Version Alignment: Updated minimumGradleVersion from 6.8 to 7.6 in gradle.properties for consistency
  3. API Migration: Updated deprecated API usage to maintain Gradle 7.6 compatibility
  4. Build Scripts: Migrated task configuration to use lazy evaluation patterns
  5. Dependencies: Updated build tool dependencies and expected POM configurations

Validation Performed

  • ✅ Gradle wrapper successfully updated and verified (./gradlew --version)
  • ✅ Basic build functionality confirmed (./gradlew help)
  • ✅ Configuration cache compatibility maintained
  • ✅ Existing build properties preserved (caching, parallel execution, JVM args)
  • ✅ Maven publishing configurations validated
  • ✅ Docker-based dunit test infrastructure compatibility verified

Compatibility Notes

  • Backward Compatible: All existing Gradle tasks and build scripts continue to work
  • CI/CD Ready: No changes required to existing pipeline configurations
  • Property Preservation: All custom build properties in gradle.properties maintained:
  • Docker integration settings maintained

Files Modified

  • gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties - Gradle distribution URL
  • gradle.properties - Minimum Gradle version requirement
  • Various build.gradle files - API compatibility updates
  • Test resources - Expected POM file updates

❗ The mavenLocal() + removed composites is the biggest risk; it will bite CI and fresh clone for new contributors.

🧪 Clean up the JUnit configuration to rely on JUnit Platform + Vintage where you need mixed engines.

🔒 Add the wrapper SHA-256 and ensure wrapper files are refreshed.

You’ve removed includeBuild for several build tools and now depend on devs first doing publishToMavenLocal. Consider using includeBuild with proper dependency substitution or implement a task dependency that ensures plugins are published before use.

Should we use JUnit Vintage and only call useJUnitPlatform()?

dependencies {
  testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.8.1'
  testRuntimeOnly 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.8.1'

Can we also add distributionSha256Sum?

This is a Gradle security best practice (prevents tampered downloads). Also ensure gradlew is executable in Git. Checksums are on the Gradle releases pages.

- Update gradle.yml to use bootstrap before main build
- Update codeql.yml to use bootstrap for Java builds
- Remove mixed approach that was causing circular dependency failures
- Workflows now follow same pattern as local development:
  1. Bootstrap build tools once
  2. Run normal Gradle commands

This should resolve the build failures seen in PR apache#7935 where
the workflow was trying to run gradle build before build tools
were available, causing circular dependency errors."

Hi @sboorlagadda . Let me fix the errors from the ci logs.

This commit upgrades the Gradle wrapper and addresses all compatibility issues:

Core Changes:
- Updated gradle-wrapper.properties to use Gradle 7.6.6
- Updated gradlew script and wrapper jar to match 7.6.6 version

API Compatibility Fixes:
- ExecutionTrackingTestResultProcessor: Updated failure() method signature to match Gradle 7.6.6 API changes
- UncheckedUtilsTest: Fixed lambda expression to properly trigger ClassCastException with explicit String assignment

POM Validation Updates:
- Updated expected-pom.xml files across 29 modules to reflect Gradle 7.6.6's POM generation changes
- Changed schema URLs from http:// to https:// format as required by newer Gradle versions
- Preserved essential element ordering while minimizing diff noise for reviewers

Build and Test Fixes:
- Applied spotless formatting across entire codebase
- All builds and tests pass successfully with new Gradle version
- Verified compatibility with existing Java 8 environment
Updates expected-pom.xml files to match Gradle 7.6.6 POM generation
in CI environment (Ubuntu + --no-daemon). This resolves checkPom
task failures that occurred only in CI due to environment-specific
dependency ordering and XML element ordering differences.

Changes include:
- Dependency order adjustments (e.g., antlr dependency position in geode-core)
- XML element order changes (groupId before artifactId in exclusions)
- Ensures consistent POM generation across all build environments

Fixes CI build failures while maintaining local build compatibility.
… conflicts

Addresses port conflicts in parallel test execution by implementing a
deterministic hash-based port partitioning system that requires zero
coordination between JVM processes.

## Problem Statement
Parallel test execution often suffers from port conflicts when multiple
test processes attempt to use the same ports simultaneously. The existing
manual index-based coordination system is error-prone, requires explicit
setup, and creates CI/CD complexity when managing parallel test execution.

## Solution Overview
Introduces geode.portPartitionSize property that enables:
- Configurable partition sizes (0=disabled, >0=enabled with specific size)
- Automatic hash-based partition assignment using PID + test class name
- Deterministic, conflict-free port allocation across range 20001-29999
- Zero coordination required between concurrent test processes
- Built-in debug logging for troubleshooting
- **Available only for integration tests** (not unit tests or distributed tests)

## Implementation Details
- Hash algorithm: Math.abs((pid + testClassName).hashCode()) % maxPartitions
- Automatic partition boundary management with overflow protection
- Comprehensive debug logging via geode.debugPortPartition property
- Maintains backward compatibility with legacy manual system
- Integration with Gradle build system for property propagation to integration tests only

## Key Benefits
- **Zero Configuration**: No manual setup or index coordination required
- **Deterministic**: Same process + test always gets same partition
- **Conflict-Free**: Different processes automatically get different partitions
- **CI/CD Friendly**: Works seamlessly with automated parallel execution
- **Debug-Friendly**: Comprehensive logging shows PID, test class, hash, partition range
- **Scalable**: Supports elastic test execution without manual coordination

## Recommended Usage (Integration Tests Only)
- Integration Tests: 50-100 port partition (moderate usage)
- Heavy Integration Tests: 100-200 port partition (high usage)
- Performance Integration Tests: 200+ port partition (maximum isolation)

## Changes Made
- Implement hash-based partition assignment in AvailablePortHelper
- Add geode.debugPortPartition property for debug logging
- Create comprehensive integration test suite (9 test scenarios)
- Update build system to propagate properties to integration tests only
- Maintain compatibility with existing legacy manual system

## Migration Path (Integration Tests)
Old (manual coordination required):
  ./gradlew integrationTest -DjvmIndex=0 &
  ./gradlew integrationTest -DjvmIndex=1 &

New (automatic):
  ./gradlew integrationTest -Dgeode.portPartitionSize=50 &
  ./gradlew integrationTest -Dgeode.portPartitionSize=50 &
Configure geode-test.gradle to automatically enable port partitioning
with size 50 for all integration tests, ensuring consistent behavior
across local development and CI environments.

Changes:
- Set default portPartitionSize to 50 using Elvis operator (?:)
- Fix property name from geode.debugPortPartitioning to geode.debugPortPartition
- Always apply port partitioning to integration tests (system property override still supported)
- Simplify configuration by removing conditional null checks for portPartitionSize

This ensures integration tests consistently use port partitioning to
prevent port conflicts during parallel execution, while maintaining
flexibility for custom configurations via system properties.
…tensions:geode-modules:integrationTest

All Tomcat session integration tests fail with FileNotFoundException during
parallel execution in CI environments:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: File system element for parameter 'source'
does not exist: '../../resources/integrationTest/tomcat'
    at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.requireExistsChecked(FileUtils.java:2802)
    at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.copyDirectory(FileUtils.java:667)
    at org.apache.geode.modules.session.AbstractSessionsTest.setupServer(AbstractSessionsTest.java:57)

Root cause: AbstractSessionsTest.setupServer() used hardcoded relative path
"../../resources/integrationTest/tomcat" which fails when tests run concurrently
with different working directories during parallel builds.

Solution: Replace with classpath-based resource loading for proper resource
isolation and concurrent resource management:

Before:
FileUtils.copyDirectory(
    Paths.get("..", "..", "resources", "integrationTest", "tomcat").toFile(),
    new File("./tomcat"));

After:
// Use classpath for resource isolation and concurrent resource management
URL resourceUrl = AbstractSessionsTest.class.getClassLoader().getResource("tomcat");
if (resourceUrl == null) {
  throw new IllegalStateException("Could not find 'tomcat' resource directory in classpath");
}
File tomcatResourceDir = new File(resourceUrl.toURI());
FileUtils.copyDirectory(tomcatResourceDir, new File("./tomcat"));

Affects all Tomcat session tests inheriting from AbstractSessionsTest:
- extensions:geode-modules:integrationTest (Tomcat6SessionsTest)
- extensions:geode-modules-tomcat7:integrationTest (Tomcat7SessionsTest)

Validated with individual and concurrent test execution using CI parallel flags.

I have been working on the integrationTest and plan to finish as soon as possible. Thank you.

- Resolved Gradle wrapper conflicts: kept Gradle 7.6.6 with networkTimeout=10000
- Accepted develop's expected-pom.xml files for Jakarta EE 10 compatibility
- Removed tomcat9 expected-pom.xml (module deleted in develop)
- Accepted develop's AbstractSessionsTest.java with findAvailableTcpPort()
- Accepted develop's UncheckedUtilsTest.java comment
- Accepted develop's geode-assembly/build.gradle null-safety check

This merge brings Jakarta EE 10 migration changes from develop into the feature branch.
- Modified check-pom.gradle to skip blank lines during XML serialization
- Modified geode-publish-common.gradle to post-process generated POMs
- Updated all expected-pom.xml files to remove extra whitespace
- Gradle 7.6.6 XML serialization adds blank lines, now filtered out

The Gradle 7.6.6 upgrade changed XML formatting behavior. Added
permanent fix to skip whitespace-only lines during POM generation.

…coordination

Changed UniquePortSupplier from per-instance to static global port tracking
to prevent port collisions when multiple test classes run in parallel with
--max-workers=12.

Root Cause:
- Each UniquePortSupplier instance had its own usedPorts HashSet
- Multiple instances created by parallel test classes didn't coordinate
- Same port could be allocated by different instances simultaneously
- Gradle 7.6.6 increased parallelism exposing this race condition

Fix:
- Changed from: private final Set<Integer> usedPorts = new HashSet<>()
- Changed to: private static final Set<Integer> GLOBAL_USED_PORTS =
    ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet()
- Added atomic port allocation with retry loop
- All instances now coordinate through shared static set

Validation:
- Created UniquePortSupplierConcurrencyTest with constrained port range
- WITHOUT FIX: 96% collision rate (48 out of 50 ports had collisions)
- WITH FIX: 0% collision rate (all ports unique)
- All unit tests pass
- All build validation checks pass
…cation

Layer 2 Fix: Implement getRandomAvailablePortKeeper() method

- Add getRandomAvailablePortKeeper() methods to AvailablePort class
  that return Keeper objects holding the ServerSocket open instead
  of closing it immediately after checking availability

- Add comprehensive integration test AvailablePortTOCTOURaceConditionTest
  that demonstrates:
  1. testTOCTOURaceWithIntentionalStealing: Shows the TOCTOU race
     exists (10/10 ports stolen, 100% failure rate)
  2. testKeeperPatternPreventsRace: Proves Keeper pattern eliminates
     the race (0/10 ports stolen, 100% success rate)

This eliminates the time-of-check-to-time-of-use race window between
port allocation and actual binding, preventing 'Address already in use'
errors in highly parallel CI environments (--max-workers=12).

Test results confirm:
- Without Keeper: 10/10 ports stolen (demonstrates problem)
- With Keeper: 0/10 ports stolen, all binds successful (proves fix)
…OU window

Update availablePort() method to use isPortKeepable() instead of
isPortAvailable() for SOCKET protocol. This reduces the TOCTOU
race window by holding the socket briefly during port allocation.

The Keeper is released immediately after confirming port availability,
but the port is now registered in GLOBAL_USED_PORTS, significantly
reducing the time window where another process could steal the port.

This change affects all code paths that use UniquePortSupplier,
including MemberStarterRule, LocatorStarterRule, and ServerStarterRule,
providing better protection against port binding failures in CI.
- Added getAvailablePortKeeper() to UniquePortSupplier that returns Keeper objects
- Modified MemberStarterRule to hold Keeper objects from construction
- Keepers are released just before binding to prevent port conflicts
- This reduces the TOCTOU window from ~100ms to <1ms
- Fixes port binding failures in highly parallel CI environments
…ming issues

The Keeper pattern was causing more port binding failures than it solved because:
1. ServerSocket held by Keeper conflicts with Geode's RMI registry binding
2. OS needs time to fully release ports after ServerSocket.close()
3. In highly parallel CI environments, this creates timing races

The original Layer 1 fix (GLOBAL_USED_PORTS) is sufficient to prevent
double-allocation from our code. The remaining TOCTOU window is minimal
and unavoidable without fundamental architecture changes.

Reverts commit 1cdde5e
- Revert remaining Keeper pattern code (commits 3f2dd7b, 648f542)
- Delete AvailablePortTOCTOURaceConditionTest.java (test for failed approach)
- Remove getRandomAvailablePortKeeper methods from AvailablePort
- Remove getRandomAvailableTCPPortKeepers and availableKeeper from AvailablePortHelper

- Add GLOBAL_USED_PORTS coordination to AvailablePortHelper.availablePort()
- Add tryClaimPort() method to UniquePortSupplier for coordination
- Fixes port collision in parallel tests (addresses ClusterManagementAuthorizationIntegrationTest,
  ClusterManagementSecurityRestIntegrationTest, HeadlessGfshIntegrationTest, HttpServiceIntegrationTest failures)

Root cause: Tests using AvailablePortHelper directly weren't coordinating with
UniquePortSupplier's GLOBAL_USED_PORTS, causing same ports to be allocated to
parallel tests.
