Error Prone 2.43.0

The minimum support JDK version to run Error Prone is now JDK 21 (google/error-prone#4867).

Changes:

• -XepPatchChecks now skips disabled checks (#4943)
• AndroidJdkLibsChecker has been removed, the recommended replacement for Android code is Android Lint's NewApi check

New checks:

• NullNeedsCastForVarargs: Detect calls that incorrectly passes a null array instead of a null element.
• RedundantNullCheck: detect checks on expressions that are non-null.

Closed issues: #4943, #5102, #5107, #5121, #5158, #5217, #5239

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.42.0...v2.43.0

Error Prone 2.42.0

New checks:

• ExplicitArrayForVarargs: discourage unnecessary explicit construction of an array to provide varargs.
• FloggerPerWithoutRateLimit: discourage Flogger's perUnique without rate limiting
• StringJoin: Ban String.join(CharSequence) and String.join(CharSequence, CharSequence)
• ThreadBuilderNameWithPlaceholder: Do not allow placeholders in Thread.Builder.name(String) or name(String, int).

Changes:

• The return type of ASTHelpers.asFlagSet has changed. The previous type was EnumSet<Flags.Flag>, where Flags.Flag is an enum in the javac class Flags. A recent JDK change has replaced that enum with a new top-level enum called FlagsEnum. It is not possible to change ASTHelpers.asFlagSet in a way that would be type-safe and compatible with the enums from JDKs both before and after the change. Instead, the method now returns ImmutableSet<String>, where the strings come from the toString() of the enum constants. That means they are "native", "abstract", etc.
• Flag IO.print[ln]() in SystemOut.

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.41.0...v2.42.0

Error Prone 2.41.0

New checks:

• EffectivelyPrivate: Detect declarations that have public or protected modifiers, but are effectively private

Changes:

• Skip BooleanLiteral findings if the target type is boxed (#5134)
