Migrate to Java 11 baseline

caprica commented 2 years ago

Headline changes:

[x] Java 11 baseline for vlcj 4.8.x
[x] Java 11 baseline for vlcj-natives 4.8.x
[x] Java 11 baseline for vlcj 5.0.x
[x] Java 11 baseline for vlcj-natives 5.0.x
[x] Use the Java Module System
[x] Remove obsolete OsxFullScreenStrategy and vlcj-osx-stubs dependency
[ ] Refine the module exports in vlcj-natives and vlcj, including any necessary package restructuring to accommodate it
[ ] Move all examples in src/test/java to a 4.8 branch in the vlcj-examples project - or consider just deleting them as the 5.x examples will eventually become all that is needed. maintaining two branches just for examples is quite onerous
[x] Java 11 baseline and modules for vlcj-javafx
[x] Java 11 baseline and modules for vlcj-javafx-demo
[x] Java 11 baseline and modules for vlcj-player
[x] Java 11 baseline and modules for vlcj-native-streams
[ ] All other ancillary projects, like vlcj-subs, vlcj-info, vlcj-mrls and so on, check them all
[x] vlcj-file-filters
[x] vlcj-mrls

Scope does not necessarily include any rewriting to use new language features, like try with resources, lambdas and so on.

Consider backporting new 5.x native discovery.

The plan is to make an initial 4.8.0 release to garner feedback from users on any difficulties introduced by the switch to using the Java Module System.

Already need a 4.8.1 release to switch from non-modular JNA dependencies to jna-jpms and jna-platform-jpms instead.

Potential issues around restricting access of vlcj-natives to vlcj only, e.g. libvlc_instance_t not exposed so MediaPlayer can not be sub-classed.
