7.0.0

Support of package managers through corepack

Requirements

• Gradle: ≥7.3 for JDK 17 build
• Gradle: ≥6.1 for JDK 11 build
• Node.js: ^14.19.0, ≥16.9.0
• JDK: ≥11

Features

• Initial support of PNPM (#183)
• Release of JDK 17 built.

Breaking changes

• Tasks NodeInstallTask and InstallDependenciesTask were renamed to match naming convention of other tasks.
• Tasks installGlobalYarn, enableYarnBerry, installYarn were removed since installation is now managed by corepack.
• Task type RunNpx was removed after command npx became deprecated. Command npm exec should be used instead.

Upgrading from 6.0.0+

• Define property packageManager in your package.json file (e.g. npm@9.6.7, pnpm@8.6.0, yarn@3.6.0, etc.).
• Add .frontend-gradle-plugin/ directory to .gitignore file(s) (see cacheDirectory property).
• Rename task classes NodeInstallTask and InstallDependenciesTask into InstallNodeTask and InstallFrontendTask in build scripts.
• Remove yarnEnabled and yarnVersion properties from build scripts, if any (already known with property packageManager).
• Update any custom task based on type RunNpx: use type RunNpm instead and prepend exec -- to the script property value. See official documentation here for detailed usage and examples.
• JDK 8 is not supported anymore. Projects must upgrade to JDK 11+.
