The hint is meant to help AspectJ developers identify the places where
there are to-dos for releases supporting new Java versions. This is work
in progress, new tags can be added wherever necessary in the future. But
for now, the most important places should be covered:
- AJC version string
- Test infrastructure (test suites, classes and XML files)
- BCEL class file version MAJOR_*, MINOR_* constants
- AjcTask constants for compiler source, target, release
- LangUtil::is*VMOrGreater methods
- ASM and JDT Core dependency versions
- CI workflow file
- Release notes
The to-do to check the tagged places is also mentioned in RELEASE.md.

- Remove obsolete section "Deploying the AspectJ installer to
aspectj.dev", because we are publishing releases on GitHub, attaching
installers to them.
- Add section "Publish documentation on website".

Avoid "Last updated [timestamp]" footer on each docs page
Set Asciidoctor option 'nofooter' to avoid the annoying timestamps. It
makes updating the website difficult, because always there are "changes"
in each file. Diffing real changes in generated files for the website
before committing becomes difficult. Furthermore, the user does not have
any immediate benefit for most documents, as they change infrequently or
never (e.g. old release notes).

Add missing release notes for 1.8.12, 1.8.13, 1.8.14
I found those in HTML only on the Eclipse web server, but not in the Git
repository. So, I manually converted them to ADOC.

Globally replace "http:" by "https:" in non-XML files
Maybe, the XML files and Maven wrapper files will follow. First, let us
find out if this breaks the build, maybe some tests are asserting on
"http:". But there, the replacement would also have taken place, so
probably it just works.

Replace links to https://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/next
This part of the website is outdated and will be deleted. Instead, link
to ADOCs right in the GitHub repository.

Always use ":leveloffset: +1" with ":doctype: book"
Headlines per ADOC file should start at level 1, not 2. Adjusting the
level offset for books helps to avoid warnings when including book
chapters, but still allows to also use the chapters as stand-alone
documents.

Remove some old files relating to AspectJ Debugger ajdb
If ajdb ever existed and was part of the product, it must have been 20+
years ago. There are still some references to it in old release notes
and unused Ant and text files, but that is OK for now.

- Redundant copies of HTML files used in AspectJ installer, which
already exist as resource files in module 'build'
- Null-sized AspectJ library JARs which probably were used to trigger
certain build steps in the former Ant build
- BridgeVersion.java.txt, which has been replaced by a regular
org.aspectj.bridge.Version class which can dynamically determine
versions from a properties file instead of relying on them being
hard-coded into the template.

The former HTML file was moved up one directory level and converted to
asciidoc format. Therefore, include the ADOC file from the correct
location now.
Alternatively, we could have included the generated HTML from the
aj-build/dist/docs/doc directory, but that would have meant adding a
dependency to the 'docs' module to several other modules for this one
file. Actually, asciidoc has become a widely used and accepted format
for documentation and is human-readable by design. Therefore, it is OK
to include the ADOC file. The important thing is that the licence
information
- is contained in each published artifact,
- can be found easily,
- its content is human-readable.
All these requirements are still met with this change. Arguably, ADOC is
easier to read than HTML and does not even need a web browser.

Remove obsolete DocBook build config in favour of Asciidoctor
Along with the Ant and Maven build configs, downloads of
- DocBook DTD,
- DocBook XSL,

- Batik,

Rename doc generation profiles, making Asciidoctor the default
The Docbook etc. Ant task profile is now called 'create-docs-LEGACY' and
will go away with the cut-over to the new doc generator logic.

Using Asciidoctor Maven, we now produce PDFs (which are also linked to
from the main documentation index page) for
- Programming Guide,
- AspectJ 5 Developer's Notebook,
- Development Environment Guide,
- Problem Diagnosis Guide,
- AspectJ Design Overview.
Attention! PDF generation alone takes 3+ minutes, almost 4 minutes
including asciidoc to HTML conversion. Just deactivate the 'create-docs'
profile if you do not need docs during the build.
Closes #272.

Follow-up on previous rename-only commit. This time, the binaries are
real PNGs. The asciidoc and other references to them have also been
replaced. File figures_classes.png in the teaching materials also was
rotated by 90° to display it correctly.
Background: The Asciidoctor PDF back-end cannot handle GIFs directly
without an additional Ruby Gem. It is easier to only use PNGs and JPEGs.

The files are still GIFs for now. In the next steps after the rename,
they will be replaced by real PNGs.

Also rename ADOC on the way and move images to subdirectory.
This makes the Maven Resource execution superfluous.

Before, only one image was referenced, consisting of a screenshot of two
diagrams. The other image file, containing just one of the diagrams, was
not used. Now, both images have been cropped correctly and are both
referenced separately from the release notes.
