5. Deprecation

A number of the Platform’s components have been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. New applications should not use the deprecated components and, to ensure a smooth migration path to future releases of the Platform, existing applications should be updated.

5.1 platform-versions artifact

As of Spring IO Platform 1.1, the platform-versions properties artifact is deprecated. Maven users are unaffected by this change. If, however, you’re using the Platform with Gradle, then you should start using the properties file published by platform-bom instead:

dependencies {
    versionManagement 'io.spring.platform:platform-bom:1.1.2.RELEASE@properties'
}

5.2 Codahale metrics

As of Spring IO Platform 1.1, dependency management for four Codahale metrics dependencies is deprecated. Those dependencies are:

  • com.codahale.metrics:metrics-core
  • com.codahale.metrics:metrics-ganglia
  • com.codahale.metrics:metrics-graphite
  • com.codahale.metrics:metrics-servlets

The preferred replacements are:

  • io.dropwizard.metrics:metrics-core
  • io.dropwizard.metrics:metrics-ganglia
  • io.dropwizard.metrics:metrics-graphite
  • io.dropwizard.metrics:metrics-servlets

5.3 net.java.dev.rome:rome

As of Spring IO Platform 1.1, the dependency management for net.java.dev.rome:rome is deprecated with com.rometools:rome being its preferred replacement.

5.4 net.java.dev.rome:rome-fetcher

As of Spring IO Platform 1.1, the dependency management for net.java.dev.rome:rome-fetcher is deprecated with com.rometools:rome-fetcher being its preferred replacement.

5.5 net.sf.ehcache:ehcache-core

As of Spring IO Platform 1.1, the dependency management for net.sf.ehcache:ehcache-core is deprecated with net.sf.ehcache:ehcache being its preferred replacement.

5.6 org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all

As of Spring IO Platform 1.1, the dependency management for org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-all is deprecated.

5.7 org.apache.tomcat:tomcat7-websocket

As of Spring IO Platform 1.1, the dependency management for org.apache.tomcat:tomcat7-websocket is deprecated. Spring IO Platform 2.0 will move to Tomcat 8 at which time the org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-websocket dependency should be used instead.

5.8 org.glassfish.tyrus:tyrus-websocket-core

Spring IO Platform 1.1 upgraded to Tyrus 1.3.5 (from 1.2.1) where the tyrus-websocket-core module no longer exists. Dependency management for org.glassfish.tyrus:tyrus-websocket-core remains at version 1.2.1 but it is deprecated and applications should be updated to use the repackaged 1.3.5 modules instead.

5.9 org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.0-api

As of Spring IO Platform 1.1, the dependency management for org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.0-api is deprecated due to the use of a version number in its artifact ID. org.eclipse.persistence:javax.persistence is its preferred replacement.

5.10 org.neo4j:neo4j-graph-collections

As of Spring IO Platform 1.1., the dependency management for org.neo4j:neo4j-graph-collections is deprecated.
