Project relies on jmc classes that aren't part of jmc-core

[jiekang]

The project currently uses classes/packages from jmc that aren't part of jmc-core, the api bundle for jmc. These should be requested in jmc upstream to be moved into jmc-core (if appropriate).

This is a decent time to make the request as JMC is now on 8.0.0-SNAPSHOT, which suggests api changes like this could be made.

@andrewazores Do you happen to have a list handy of the exact fully qualified class names this project uses that are in jmc, not jmc-core?

[andrewazores]

I don't. The only list of classes I had [0] looked at were the ones in container-jfr which were from JMC, but not whether those came from jmc or jmc-core.

[andrewazores]

And that's a list of the classes that at that time were still not abstracted over and moved into this -core project, so the full set is larger than that since it needs to be unioned with the set of classes used in this codebase. The same or similar ag/grep/etc. is handy enough for getting that class list.

[jiekang]

Ah so I should actually look at both container-jfr and container-jfr-core. Okay thanks!

[andrewazores]

Yea, not everything has been moved into -core yet. Ideally all of the jmc API access is abstracted over or reimplemented by -core and the main container-jfr codebase contains zero references to any JMC classes, but that isn't the case right now.

56 has a temporary fix for this, by maintaining an in-tree copy of JMC application classes that we use. A more permanent fix would be refactoring JMC upstream to move this functionality to core.

Last week the PRs for JMC-7308 (flightrecorder.configuration) [0] and JMC-7069 (rjmx.common) [1] were merged, which moves the classes listed in the comments above into the JMC core libraries.

These changes will be a part of the JMC 9 release, and should be available through maven central in the new year. JMC 9 is currently set to have a source release on January 24, 2024 [2].

I'll revisit these once the maven central release happens, but here are some branches that I prepared to make sure the cryostat repos build and pass all their unit + itests.

(2024-01-23: these branches are up-to-date and use the Adoptium JMC core snapshot jars) cryostat-core: https://github.com/aptmac/cryostat-core/tree/core-9.0.0-SNAPSHOT cryostat-reports: https://github.com/aptmac/cryostat-reports/tree/core-9.0.0-SNAPSHOT cryostat: https://github.com/aptmac/cryostat/tree/core-9.0.0-SNAPSHOT cryostat3: https://github.com/aptmac/cryostat3/tree/core-9.0.0-SNAPSHOT

These branches can also go towards: https://github.com/cryostatio/cryostat-core/issues/173

Just noticed that there were a couple of issues still open related to the dependency on jmc/application.

This was addressed in commit https://github.com/cryostatio/cryostat-core/commit/34c5e0e423069c748553a4a51c4c3f5c9fda5e54.
