This PR introduces the Dependency Analysis Gradle Plugin (DAGP) to the build system to identify and guard against duplicate classes. This addresses the security risks associated with "Maven-Hijack" type attacks and helps ensure deterministic runtime behavior by preventing multiple dependencies from providing the same fully qualified class names.
Key Changes:
com.autonomousapps.dependency-analysisplugin (v3.5.1) to the root project.:grails-coremodule to provide a targetted security guard for the main codebase.failin thedependencyAnalysisblock to ensure any detected duplicates break the build.Verification: Ran
./gradlew :grails-core:projectHealth, which successfully caught an existing duplicate class conflict in the:grails-coremodule (betweenjcl-over-slf4jandspring-jcl). This confirms the guard is active and effective.This PR fixes #15329
