Error Prone 2.39.0

Changes:

• Temporarily downgrade to Guava 33.4.0 (#5108)

Checks:

• BooleanLiteral: Prefer true to Boolean.TRUE

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.38.0...v2.39.0

Error Prone 2.38.0

New checks:

• AddNullMarkedToPackageInfo: adds @org.jspecify.annotations.NullMarked annotation to package-info files
• IntLiteralCast: Suggests a literal of the desired type instead of casting an int literal to a long, float, or double
• MisleadingEmptyVarargs: Discourages calling varargs methods that expect at least one argument with no arguments, like Mockito's thenThrow
• PreconditionsExpensiveString: Discourages expensive string formatting in Guava Preconditions checks
• SelfSet: Detects mistakes like proto.setFoo(proto.getFoo())
• UnnecessaryCopy: detect unnecessary copies of proto Lists and Maps.

Closed issues: #4924, #4897, #4995

Full changelog: google/error-prone@v2.37.0...v2.38.0

Error Prone 2.37.0

Changes:

• The annotations that were previously in error_prone_type_annotations have been been merged into error_prone_annotations. error_prone_type_annotations is now deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.

New checks:

• AssignmentExpression - The use of an assignment expression can be surprising and hard to read; consider factoring out the assignment to a separate statement.
• IntFloatConversion - Detect calls to scalb that should be using the double overload instead
• InvalidSnippet - Detects snippets which omit the : required for inline code.
• JUnit4EmptyMethods - Detects empty JUnit4 @Before, @After, @BeforeClass, and @AfterClass methods.
• MockIllegalThrows - Detects cases where Mockito is configured to throw checked exception types which are impossible.
• NegativeBoolean - Prefer positive boolean names.
