This fixes the `lenient` parameter to be `missingClasses`. I will remove this boolean and we can handle them via the normal whitelist.
It also adds a check for sheisty classes (jar hell with the jdk).
This is inspired by the lucene "sheisty" classes check, but it has false positives. This check is more evil, it validates every class file against the extension classloader as a resource, to see if it exists there. If so: jar hell.
This jar hell is a problem for several reasons:
1. causes insanely-hard-to-debug problems (like bugs in forbidden-apis)
2. hides problems (like internal api access)
3. the code you think is executing, is not really executing
4. security permissions are not what you think they are
5. brings in unnecessary dependencies
6. its jar hell
The more difficult problems are stuff like jython, where these classes are simply 'uberjared' directly in, so you cant just fix them by removing a bogus dependency. And there is a legit reason for them to do that, they want to support java 1.4.
Transitive dependencies can be confusing and hard to deal with when
conflicts arise between them. This change removes transitive
dependencies from elasticsearch, and forces any dependency conflicts to
be resolved manually, instead of automatically by gradle.
closes#14627
Some dependencies must be specified in a couple places in the build.
e.g. randomized runner is specified both in buildSrc (for the gradle
wrapper plugin), as well as in the test-framework.
This change creates buildSrc/versions.properties which acts similar to
the set of shared version properties we used to have in the maven parent
pom.
The documentation says we support EPUB, but the parser is not enabled.
This parser does not require any external dependencies, so I think its ok?
Separately, test-framework drags in an ancient commons-codec (via httpclient), which gradle
"upgrades", but IDEs can't handle this case and just hit jar hell. So just wire that to 1.9,
this allows running tests in the IDE for this plugin.
