Fixes#322
We add an option `createPhantomSuperclasses` to `ClassHierarchy`. When set, if a superclass is missing, we create a new `PhantomClass` in its place and allow the subclass to be added.
To use, you can create the `ClassHierarchy` with the new `ClassHierarchyFactory.makeWithPhantom` methods.
Boxing a primitive using the constructor ("new Integer(4)") always
creates a distinct new boxed instance. That's rarely what you need,
and in fact all of those constructors have been deprecated in Java 9.
Using the static "valueOf" method instead ("Integer.valueOf(4)") can
give better performance by reusing existing instances. You no longer
get a unique boxed object, but generally that's OK.
This gives the WALA maintainers the option of doing future 1.4.5+
releases from of a pre-Gradle branch if these merged Gradle changes
turn out to be more disruptive than expected.
These settings files currently are generated with an initial timestamp
comment line, which is not something we'd want to track in version
control. Fortunately, the contents of these files are entirely
mundane, so there should be no problem with having Buildship generate
them anew each time a developer imports WALA into Eclipse as an
existing Gradle project.
Apparently Buildship generates these when one uses Import -> Existing
Gradle Project:
<https://discuss.gradle.org/t/buildship-eclipse-plug-in-multiproject-builds/24030/5>.
We can use the Gradle "eclipse" plugin if customizations are
necessary, but my impression is that the intent is to treat ".project"
and ".classpath" as generated files, not sources to be tracked in
source control.
I was confused about the differences among:
srcDir 'foo'
srcDirs ['foo']
srcDirs = ['foo']
As it turns out, the first two append to the set of source
directories, while the last replaces this set entirely. I generally
want replacement, since WALA's current directory layout never matches
Gradle's assumed defaults.
