Changes

Dependency Management

Added Spring Milestones repository to sdk/spring/pom.xml for accessing RC releases
Generated spring_boot_4.0.0-RC2_managed_external_dependencies.txt (1,745 managed dependencies)
Added 97 complete springboot4_ prefixed entries to external_dependencies.txt

Version Infrastructure

Extended _constants.py with SPRING_BOOT_MAJOR_4_VERSION_NAME and springboot4_ prefix
Updated sync_external_dependencies.py to accept Spring Boot 4 as valid major version
Registered Spring Boot 4.0.0-RC2 in spring-cloud-azure-supported-spring.json with EXPERIMENTAL status

Version Migration

Migrated all 58 Spring pom.xml files from Spring Boot 3 to Spring Boot 4 by replacing 583 occurrences of springboot3_ with springboot4_
Updated all version numbers to Spring Boot 4.0.0-RC2 versions including:
- Spring Boot: 4.0.0-RC2 (from 3.5.5)
- Spring Framework: 7.0.0-RC3 (from 6.x)
- JUnit Jupiter: 6.0.1 (from 5.12.2)
- Jackson: 2.20.1 (from 2.19.2)
- Netty: 4.2.7.Final (from 4.1.124.Final)

Spring Framework 7 Compatibility Fixes

Replaced deprecated Spring annotations with Jakarta annotations (88 files):
- org.springframework.lang.NonNull → jakarta.annotation.Nonnull (39 files)
- org.springframework.lang.Nullable → jakarta.annotation.Nullable (49 files)
Added jakarta.annotation-api (version 3.0.0) as a provided dependency to 14 Spring modules
Added jakarta.annotation-api to maven enforcer allowed dependencies in azure-client-sdk-parent/pom.xml to resolve banned dependency errors
Resolves all compilation warnings and build errors related to deprecated Spring Framework 7 annotations

Build Status

✅ Compilation successful with no warnings or errors
✅ All deprecated API warnings resolved
✅ Maven enforcer plugin passes with jakarta.annotation-api allowed
Full integration testing pending

Next Steps

Once Spring Boot 4.0 GA releases (Nov 2025):

Execute full integration and compatibility test suites
Address any remaining API deprecations and breaking changes
Update support status from EXPERIMENTAL to SUPPORTED
Publish timeline for enterprise upgrades

Fixes Remove duplicate ServiceLabel for Cognitive - Health Insights in CODEOWNERS #47230

<agent_instructions>name: Test Newly Spring Version for Spring Cloud Azure
description: Automates updating Spring Boot and Spring Cloud dependencies, applying new features and fixes in your repository.

This agent helps you update Spring Boot and Spring Cloud dependencies in your repository and apply new features and fix errors by performing these steps:

1. Add Spring Milestones Repository

Add the Spring Milestones repository into the related pom.xml files under the Spring folder to ensure access to milestone versions.

2. Get Versions

Use the provided Spring Boot and Spring Cloud versions as:

SPRING_BOOT_VERSION:4.0.0-RC2

SPRING_CLOUD_VERSION:2025.1.0-M4

3. update dependencies

Run the following command, replacing placeholders with the provided versions:
python ./sdk/spring/scripts/get_spring_boot_managed_external_dependencies.py -b ${SPRING_BOOT_VERSION} -c ${SPRING_CLOUD_VERSION}
This creates:
./sdk/spring/scripts/spring_boot_${SPRING_BOOT_VERSION}_managed_external_dependencies.txt in ./sdk/spring/scripts.
Before creating the new file, delete any old version file.

4. Sync External Dependencies

Run:
python ./sdk/spring/scripts/sync_external_dependencies.py -b ${SPRING_BOOT_VERSION} -sbmvn 3
This updates:
./eng/versioning/external_dependencies.txt

5. Update Versions

Run:
python ./eng/versioning/update_versions.py --sr
This updates versions in pom.xml files based on external_dependencies.txt.

6. Apply New Features and Fix Errors

After syncing and updating, apply new features and fixes introduced by the updated Spring Boot and Spring Cloud versions.

@copilot continue to update versions below spring folder by running command: python .\eng\versioning\update_versions.py --sr

I've run python ./eng/versioning/update_versions.py --sr as requested. The command completed successfully with no changes needed - all version markers in the spring pom.xml files are already synchronized with the external_dependencies.txt file which includes both springboot3_ and springboot4_ prefixed dependencies.
