Before, we used 1.9.7.BUILD-SNAPSHOT, which according to Andy Clement
was originally an intent across a group of Spring projects he was
involved in, to ensure that SNAPSHOTS were sorted alphabetically ahead
of MILESTONEs and ahead of RCs.

Create javadoc for all public artifacts, fix dependencies
Sonatype OSSRH repository rules require source and javadoc JARs in
order to create staging repositories for releases to be promoted to
Maven Central. So I added build steps to unzip the source JARs and then
create Javadocs for them.
FIXME: This configuration works with JDK 16, but throws errors on other
JDK versions, e.g. 14. It looks as if the Maven Javadoc plugin does not
do a particularly good job applying the plugin settings in a way making
it work with different JDK javadoc tool versions. I am saying that,
because when using the tool directly on the console, it works with basic
settings and the correct classpath.
In order to enable creating uber JARs via Maven Shade in the future, I
also added missing dependencies. Maven Assembly descriptors just assume
that all the necessary class files and sources already exist where it
copies them from. But several of the dependency modules were not
explicitly listed as such by the uber JAR modules. I fixed that.

There is a strange effect in Maven builds: Depending on which profiles
are active when building the project - even seemingly unrelated ones
like 'create-docs' or 'clean-libs' - the execution order of plugins in
the 'process-resources' phase can vary. Specifically, Build Helper vs.
Enforcer in module 'lib', which both were in the same phase, can
sometimes be executed in lexical order, which I expected, or the other
way around, which makes the build fail if the existence of the marker
file is checked by Enforcer before Build Helper even had a chance to
create it. Probably, this is because Build Helper is defined inside a
profile and Enforcer outside of any.
Therefore, the safest way to ensure correct ordering of the two is to
place Enforcer in a later phase, in this case 'compile'.

I tripped over not finding aspectjtools in my IntelliJ Maven view many
times, because it was listed as "AspectJ Compiler". So I renamed it to
"AspectJ Tools (Compiler)". Now it resembles more the artifact ID and
still retains the information that it is the artifact containing AJC.
For the 'lib' module I removed the 'name' tag again, because it is not
one of the main artifacts we publish. Now the POMs are more like Andy
might have intended them to be, using a human-readable 'name' only for
the main artifacts.

In the previous GitHub build, there were warnings in the log because of
failed downloads. Actually, the default is to fail the build, but that
did not happen. Let us try a more recent version, maybe it fixes an old
bug, even though in the diff between the versions I did not see anything
obvious here.
Anyway, I created an issue ticket:
https://github.com/maven-download-plugin/maven-download-plugin/issues/185
BTW, our build only failed later during the Maven Enforcer sanity check,
because several files from the check list were missing after a seemingly
successful provisioning. Actually, I am glad I added this "redundant"
double-checking step to the build, otherwise the build would not have
failed in the 'lib' module but much later in a hard to detect spot.

Upon special request by Andy Clement, I included 'lib' as a child module
in the parent POM again, making several modules which refer to
downloaded library files dependent the 'lib' module. I am not sure I
caught all of them, but I hope so.
Now after cloning the project and configuring the token for reading from
GitHub Packages (sorry!), you can just run a Maven build for the main
project and no longer need to fail the first build, read the Maven
Enforcer message and run 'cd lib && mvn compile' as a first step. This
convenience comes at the price of a more complex POM and two new
profiles:
- Profile 'provision-libs' is auto-activated by the absence of a
marker file, kicking off the library provisioning process and
creating same marker file at the end, if successful. Therefore,
during subsequent builds libraries will not be re-provisioned,
because the marker file exists and Maven skips all download and
(un)zip steps, which saves build time and bandwidth. Otherwise
offline builds would not work either.
- Profile 'clean-libs' needs to be activated manually, because by
default 'mvn clean' will not erase provisioned libraries. In most
cases, even after a clean a developer does not want to re-provision
all libraries if they have not changed (e.g. new JDT Core build).
But if you do wish too erase the libraries and the marker file, just
call 'cd lib && mvn -P clean-libs clean'.
Please note: The Maven Enforcer build step, which additionally checks
for existence of other files, still exists and was moved from the parent
POM to 'libs'. No matter if provisioning was just done or skipped
because the main marker file exists, a quick heuristic check for that
list of files is done during each build, failing the build with a
comprehensive message if an inconsistency was found. The error message
says which files are missing and tells the user:
"There is an inconsistency in module subdirectory 'lib'. Please run
'mvn --projects lib -P clean-libs clean compile'. This should take
care of cleaning and freshly downloading all necessary libraries to
that directory, where some tests expect them to be."
This should cover the topic.

Delete all remaining docbook contents, download them instead
Actually, only fop:fop:0.20.5 and batik:batik-1.5-fop:0.20-5 are really
used in addition to lib/saxon/saxon.jar (saxon:saxon:6.5.3). So the rest
does not need to be replaced and can just be wiped.

Delete docbook XSL + DTD directories from libs, download instead
It was kind of difficult to identify and find the vintage versions used
in AspectJ in download archives, but finally I managed to. Docs
generation looks good visually, tests to be run on GitHub CI.

AFAIK, Jython is not used anywhere in out tests, also not in combination
with Ant. So I have decided to delete it altogether. If the build
passes, we should be fine and be able to travel more lightly in the
future.

Switch from 'libx' to 'lib', delete all obsolete binaries
Because 'cd lib && mvn compile' can now download and (un)zip many
previously SCM-committed third-party dependencies, the following 'lib'
subdirectories have been deleted:
- ant
- asm
- commons
- jarjar
- junit
- regexp
- saxon
This one is new (but not stored in SCM):
- jdtcore-aj
For each of them, there now is a .gitignore entry, so as to prevent
developers from accidentally committing the downloaded binaries again.

In two places, the documentation now contains this text:
"Since AspectJ 1.9.7, the obsolete Oracle/BEA JRockit agent is no longer
part of AspectJ. JRockit JDK never supported Java versions higher than
1.6. Several JRockit JVM features are now part of HotSpot and tools like
Mission Control available for OpenJDK and Oracle JDK."
The decision to drop JRockit support was made during a discussion
between Alexander Kriegisch and Andy Clement:

It was the only subdirectory under lib/ext anyway and somehow always
irritating and difficult to find when just using a directory browser in

Remove ASM 2.0 dependency from AtAjLTWTests::testLTWUnweavable
The test class UnweavableTest used ASM 2.0 API. I upgraded in two ways:
1. Now the ASM 9.1 API is used. Probably works with much older
versions too (just not as old as 2.0), as long as the method and
constructor signatures are the same).
2. The class now uses the AspectJ version of ASM (i.e. package names
aj.org.objectweb.asm.*) and therefore can just use ASM as it is on
the classpath for module 'tests' already. There is no more need to
manually add '<pathelement path="${aj.root}/lib/asm/asm-2.0.jar"/>'
to the Ant build script for that test.
Consequently, asm-2.0.jar can be eliminated from Git SCM completely,
because it was only used in this one test.
BTW, I also removed some deprecated API and other types of warnings in
UnweavableTest.

Keep only ASM 2.0 binary because it is still used in UnweavableTest
which uses an old ASM API, e.g. with a ClassWriter constructor which no
longer exists.
Also add JarJar 1.3 library because it is needed by an Ant task in
lib/asm/build.xml.

Bug#531694: generate more optional thisJoinPoint construction code
This commit introduces some new methods into the
runtime Factory class and modifies code generation
to use them (and to use the form of the LDC bytecode
