Migrated to Log4j2

Summary

• Updated the dependencies that actively do logging (the snmpman-cli module and the unit tests) to use log4j2 instead of the end-of-life log4j1.
• Updated testng 6 to 7.
• Updated the jackson library version used.

What do you need to do for migration?

snmpman-cli users

If you're using the command line version of snmpman, you need to adapt your setup to provide a log4j2.xml configuration (or take the one provided with the jar).

snmpman (library) users

Library usage (the snmpman module itself without snmpman-cli) is still logging using slf4j. No changes needed if you already have a slf4j plugin in use.

snmpset / writing support for SNMPman

Set support for SNMP. You can set values now via "snmpset" and the values ues are being stored in the snmpman instance.

Updated dependencies that fix a deadlock

• Fixed a deadlock that had possibly to do with snmp4j. This went away after updating the dependency.
• Updated some other dependencies.

Findbugs + PMD fixes

• Minor Findbugs and PMD fixes

Cleanups + updates

• Many cleanups in code as suggested by IntelliJ inspections
• Updated jackson dependencies from 2.5.x to 2.9.8
• Updated guava dependency

Dependency updates + JDK 9/10 support

Several updates of the dependencies:

• guava -> 25.1
• slf4j -> 1.7.25
• testng -> 6.14.3
• lombok -> 1.18.0

Project compiles now with JDK 8, 9 and 10

Maven submodules plus SNMP4j update

• Fixed the random init of some modifiers.
• Updated the SNMP4j dependency to the current version.
• Fixed the unit tests.
• Switched build system to Maven to simplify releases / deployments.
• Put CLI code to Maven submodule, you don't have args4j dependcies anymore if you don't want them (typical library usage).
• Updated the documentation a bit.
• Dropped the RPM and Debian packagings.

1.3

• On call of Snmpman.start(...) the SNMPMAN will now wait until all agents are initialized and started.
• We removed the automatic versioning by Git revisions and from now on will set the versions manually 👌

1.2.108

• Added support for SNMP contexts (community indices)

1.2.56

really fixed the property issue :)
