The controlsfx is a huge JavaFX components library (0.83MB as JAR).
Turns out, we only use a single component, the PopOver. Fortunately,
the PopOver is self-contained and easy to pull out from controlsfx.
This commit embeds the PopOver in the project and removes controlsfx
dependency. The embedded version is exactly the same as previously
used in the project, so no change in semantics should occur.
The reactfx was a 0.33MB dependency / 238 Java source files.
We only used it for FxTimer helper and to measure FPS in development mode.
The small FxTimer class got copied over into the project,
so there is no change in semantics.
The FPS measurement got replaced w/ com.sun.javafx.perf.PerformanceTracker,
an internal but long stable part of JavaFx. This is probably not a problem,
because it only concerns a rarely used, developer feature.
We still depend on this jar *indirectly* via bouncycastle:bcpg,
which is used for PGP signature verification of Bisq Desktop updates.
This gets us closer to prospect of removing Bounce Castle dependency
entirely in the future.
Rationale for this direction:
* We are really only using Bouncy Castle for PGP sig verification
* Java's builtin cryptography got vastly better since 2000
* We should prefer boring and proven cryptography anyway
* Australian projects should be considered compromised,
and Bouncy Castle is run by Australian non-profit organization
* Bouncy Castle is a heavy dependency totaling 3.6MB
One is supposed to only specify direct dependencies in build.gradle.
This commit removes two superfluous deps statements for the desktop
module. Other modules already follow the convention.
This does *not* remove any dependencies - it only cleans up how they
are specified.
Protobuf got updated to the latest released version 3.9.1.
The main motivation was to fix the following annoying warnings:
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by com.google.protobuf.UnsafeUtil (file:/home/qertoip/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.google.protobuf/protobuf-java/3.5.1/8c3492f7662fa1cbf8ca76a0f5eb1146f7725acd/protobuf-java-3.5.1.jar) to field java.nio.Buffer.address
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of com.google.protobuf.UnsafeUtil
WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations
WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release
Additionally, protobuf-gradle-plugin got updated to 0.8.10.
Created version variables in build.gradle where missing,
but not touching hard coded overrides in subprojects.
Alphanumerically ordered version variables.
Used IDE code formatter, changing top line of file.
If a seednode is using netwlayer version 0.6.2 (or 0.6.1) it is not
reachable from other nodes. Still unclear what causes that and if it
would affect also normal Bisq nodes, but to be careful we revert to
latest stable netlayer version which fixes the issue.
We used checkpoint files from BitcoinJ 0.14.4 and those caused a very
slow initial download. I tested with the WalletAppKit and different
release version sof BitcoinJ and could reproduce the behaviour there.
WIth v0.14.5 it was much better. But also that caused slow startup in
Bisq. After creating a current checkpoint file and using that the
download is now very fast.
Also added logging for versions of BitcoinJ and libDohJ so that we have
better control which version is used.
Prior to this fix, the build failed with the following error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file '/Users/cbeams/Work/bisq-network/bisq/build.gradle' line: 109
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':desktop:installDist'.
> No such property: bat for class: java.lang.String
@cbeams
The copy task below fails because the copied files are conflicting
with the project folder name.
I temporarily delete those files as I think they are duplicated
anyway (bisq-* are probably the one to use). Would be good if those
files don't get created in the first place.
The related *.bat files are also deleted.
I push that change directly as currently both master and release
branch fail to build.
Related to https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/1959 which
removed .bat files on a non-Windows OS to prevent a cluttered root
directory, this change will delete *nix scripts on a Windows OS.
Previously, start scripts were generated for both *nix and Windows
platforms, resulting in an unnecessarily cluttered root directory.
With this change, both types of script are still generated, but Windows
.bat scripts are deleted immediately afterward if the user is running a
non-Windows OS (unfortunately, there was no clean way to suppress the
generation of these scripts in the Gradle StartScripts API).
See #1956
This change configures the Gradle build to generate "start scripts" for
each Bisq executable (e.g. Bisq Desktop, Bisq Seednode, etc) in the root
project directory, such that after invoking `./gradle build`, the
following executable scripts become available:
~/Work/bisq-network/bisq
$ ls -1 | egrep '(bisq*|lib)'
bisq-desktop
bisq-desktop.bat
bisq-monitor
bisq-monitor.bat
bisq-relay
bisq-relay.bat
bisq-seednode
bisq-seednode.bat
bisq-statsnode
bisq-statsnode.bat
lib
This makes it possible for users (developers) to easily discover and use
these scripts in an idiomatic and platform-agnostic way as opposed to
the previous situation where we would advise users to run e.g.
java -jar desktop/build/libs/desktop-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar
This approach works, but is cumbersome and focuses unnecessarily on the
Java-based nature of the project. Now, with the changes in this commit,
the user would simply run:
./bisq-desktop
The 'lib' directory shown above contains all the jar files necessary to
construct classpaths for these various scripts. The 'cleanInstallDist'
task deletes the 'bisq-*' files and the 'lib' directory, and the default
'clean' task has been configured to depend on the 'cleanInstallDist'
task to ensure this cleanup happens automatically when most users would
expect it.
In the future, these same scripts can be used when installing Bisq
executables properly on users' systems via package managers like Brew
and Apt. The goal is to have the user experience around running
`bisq-desktop` (and more importantly, the forthcoming `bisqd`) be
similar in every way to installing and using `bitcoind`, `lnd` and other
idiomatic *nix-style utilities, be they Bitcoin-related or not.
See the changes in docs/build.md and docs/dev-setup.md for a further
sense of the how this change impacts the developer experience.
Updating to the latest shadow plugin version will resolve the following
deprecation warning:
> Task :desktop:shadowJar UP-TO-DATE
Registering invalid inputs and outputs via TaskInputs and TaskOutputs
methods has been deprecated. This is scheduled to be removed in Gradle
5.0. A problem was found with the configuration of task
':desktop:shadowJar'.
See: https://github.com/johnrengelman/shadow/issues/336
This change avoids the as-yet unexplained resolution errors we've been
seeing out of JCenter today, which look like the following:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':monitor:compileClass
> Could not resolve net.gpedro.integrations.slack:slack-webhook:1.1.

For full context, see the Travis CI build failure at
https://travis-ci.org/bisq-network/bisq/builds/451786384#L678-L679.
It is assumed this is an issue on the JCenter side, e.g. something to do
with the interaction of JCenter servers and their SSL implementation
when accessed under OpenJDK 10 and its TrustStore implementation. This
specific failure does not occur under Oracle JDK 11, but other
dependencies do fail in a similar but non-deterministic fashion. In any
case, resolving project dependencies from Maven Central solves the
problem in the meantime.
