This removes the patching of fs and http, and replaces them with their
own standard Lua APIs. This makes the bios a little simpler, and means
we can move the documentation in line.
This fixes several issues I had with consuming multi-loader CC:T in
various upstream mods.
- Include /all/ sources in the Forge/Fabric jar. Before it was just the
common classes, and not the core or API.
- Use some Gradle magic to remove superfluous dependencies from the POM
file. Also make sure Cobalt and Netty are present as dependencies.
- Start using minimize() in our shadow jar config again.
After several weeks of carefully arranging ribbons, we pull the string
and end up with, ... a bit of a messy bow. There were still some things
I'd missed.
- Split the mod into a common (vanilla-only) project and Forge-specific
project. This gives us room to add Fabric support later on.
- Split the project into main/client source sets. This is not currently
statically checked: we'll do that soon.
- Rename block/item/tile entities to use suffixes rather than prefixes.
We'll do this everywhere eventually, but much easier to do it
incrementally:
- Use checker framework to default all field/methods/parameters to
@Nonnull.
- Start using ErrorProne[1] and NullAway[2] to check for possible null
pointer issues. I did look into using CheckerFramework, but it's much
stricter (i.e. it's actually Correct). This is technically good, but
is a much steeper migration path, which I'm not sure we're prepared
for yet!
