NilLoaderSDK API

[3.0.2] - 2026-08-06

Developer toolbox

• Added the optional [SDK]-3.0.2-all.jar developer toolbox with Byte Buddy 1.17.6, Byte Buddy Agent 1.17.6, GEB core 0.5.4, ClassGraph 4.8.184, and SnakeYAML 2.6, keeping upstream package names unrelocated for direct imports.
• Added DeveloperToolbox capability checks plus ByteBuddyHelper, ClassGraphHelper, YamlHelper, and GebHelper convenience APIs.
• Byte Buddy self-attachment remains explicit; SDK startup never calls ByteBuddyAgent.install() automatically.
• YAML helpers use SafeConstructor, reject duplicate mapping keys, and cap aliases for safer configuration loading.
• Moved GEB's processor to the Gradle annotationProcessor configuration. It is build-time tooling and is not bundled in the runtime shadow JAR.
• Optional toolbox dependencies are available to SDK compilation/tests but are not published as transitive dependencies of the normal Maven artifact.

Build and publishing

• Ensured assemble/build creates the -all.jar and standalone -mapping-tool.jar alongside the normal JAR.
• Attached both classified JARs to the Maven publication so project-local GPG publishing signs them together with sources/Javadocs.
• Moved signing configuration after classified artifact attachment and added project license/implementation metadata to the standalone mapping-tool JAR.
• Simplified the Windows Gradle launcher to respect the active JAVA_HOME selected by actions/setup-java before scanning other installed JDKs, while still rejecting unsupported Java 25 for Gradle 8.8.
• Preserved service-provider metadata in the shadow JAR and added third-party notices/license files to the distribution.
• Restored GitHub Actions build.yml for Ubuntu/Windows on JDK 17/21 and release.yml for v* tags, including tag/version validation, changelog extraction, SHA-256 checksums, and GitHub Release creation.
• Restored release helper scripts and a submodule guard that detects a missing 160000 Git link for tools/MinecraftRemapping.

Fixed and documented

• Replaced the accidental Gradle snippet previously stored in THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md with an actual third-party license inventory.
• Updated stale 3.0.1 metadata and documentation references to the in-development 3.0.2 release.
• Kept complete mapping data outside release artifacts; mapping input continues to come directly from tools/MinecraftRemapping.
