PragmaticKM Task Taglib Changelog

pragmatickm-task-taglib-1.9.0-SNAPSHOT

Updated to Java™ EE 7 Web Profile (Servlet 3.1, JSP 2.3, EL 3.0, and JSTL 1.2).
Minimum Java version changed from 1.8 to 11.
Now supports Java 9+ modules. Due to still having filename-based automatic module dependencies, *-SNAPSHOT versions include module-info.class while releases include the Automatic-Module-Name manifest entry. To minimize the difference between these modes, module-info.java does not perform any transitive requires.

Added generics to TLD types and signatures.
Updated dependencies.
Cleaned-up use of JspTagException versus JspException. Generally, methods declare throws JspException while actually throwing instances of JspTagException. The exception to this is private implementation methods that both declare and throw JspTagException.
Attribute setters now throw IllegalArgumentException instead of JspTagException.

Minimum Java version changed from 1.7 to 1.8.
Reduced use of property substitutions in pom.xml. This is to help 3rd-party parsers that fail to perform full Maven-compatible substitutions.
Using AO Fluent HTML for HTML generation.

Using managed dependencies:
1. This project uses managed dependencies.
2. This project's managed dependencies may also be imported by other projects.

Minimum Java version changed from 1.6 to 1.7.
Updated dependencies.
PragmaticKM Task Taglib Reference improvements:
1. Fixed invalid HTML within descriptions.
2. Added links to javadocs from dependencies.
3. Improved formatting and linking.

New AO OSS Parent POM to simplify pom.xml files.
Project documentation moved to per-project book in SemanticCMS format.
Added changelog as top-level project link.
Taglib tlib-version is now set automatically during build. Unfortunately, we cannot include "-SNAPSHOT" on snapshot builds due to the requirement of "Dewey decimal" for taglib versions. The unambiguous full version is annotated via comment.
Taglib URLs now match project URLs.
All .tld files now have consistent description formatting.

Improved Javadoc formatting.
Set rtexprvalue to false where seems reasonable to do so.
Newer taglib version to support deferred expressions.
Deferred expressions for more attributes.
Attributes that take deferred expressions are now deferred-only.
Using page traversals in more places to allow for concurrent subrequests.
Added getMultipleDoAfters to resolve doAfters in batches.
Removed buffer and autoFlush settings from JSPs; using defaults.
TaskLookup was a strange violation / interation between the Model and Servlet layers. TaskLookup is removed, now uses ElementRef and all page/element captures are performed in the Servlet layer. Also leveraging concurrent captures where applicable.

Using extensions.xml to avoid chicken/egg problem using ssh for private repositories.
Improved Maven configuration for Java EE 6 dependencies.
