This is increasingly difficult to maintain, and has very limited
benefit. Modern coprocessors with enough horsepower to run Java
applications can use the Gradle or Bazel build systems instead.
Commands v3 had a few changes due to the upgrade:
- Java 24 removed the Pinned: MONITOR IllegalStateException when
yielding in a synchronized block, so we no longer need to special case
for it
- Lambda method name generation was tweaked, requiring tests to be
updated
- Bazel java_rules needed to be bumped to support Java 25
Closes#8425
libprotobuf is a very annoying dependency to deal with, and with the switch to nanopb for generated C++ code, libprotobuf is only used for dynamic decode in the GUI apps. libprotobuf has been swapped out with upb, a much smaller C-based library that supports reflection and can therefore do dynamic decode. This means we can remove the libprotobuf dependency and stop dealing with build issues because of it.
