- Use gradle configuration `api` for dependencies that are part of grpc public api signatures.
- Replace deprecated gradle configurations `compile`, `testCompile`, `runtime` and `testRuntime`.
- With minimal change in dependencies: If we need dep X and Y to compile our code, and if X transitively depends on Y, then our build would still pass even if we only include X as `compile`/`implementation` dependency for our project. Ideally we should include both X and Y explicitly as `implementation` dependency for our project, but in this PR we don't add the missing Y if it is previously missing.
Define util function to exclude guava's transitive dependencies jsr305 and animal-sniffer-annotations, and always manually add them as runtimeOnly dependency. error_prone_annotations is an exception: It is also excluded but manually added not as runtimeOnly. It must always compile with guava, otherwise users will see warning spams if guava is in the compile classpath but error_prone_annotations is not.
io.grpc has fewer dependencies than io.grpc.internal. Moving it to a
separate artifact lets users use the API without bringing in the deps.
If the library has an optional dependency on grpc, that can be quite
convenient.
We now version-pin both grpc-api and grpc-core, since both contain
internal APIs.
I had to change a few tests in grpc-api to avoid FakeClock. Moving
FakeClock to grpc-api was difficult because it uses
io.grpc.internal.TimeProvider, which can't be moved since it is a
production class. Having grpc-api's tests depend on grpc-core's test
classes would be weird and cause a circular dependincy. Having
grpc-api's tests depend on grpc-core is likely possible, but weird and
fairly unnecessary at this point. So instead I rewrote the tests to
avoid FakeClock.
