Name        : objenesis
Product     : Fedora 40
Version     : 3.3
Release     : 9.fc40
URL         : https://objenesis.org/
Summary     : A library for instantiating Java objects
Description :
Objenesis is a small Java library that serves one purpose: to instantiate
a new object of a particular class.
Java supports dynamic instantiation of classes using Class.newInstance();
however, this only works if the class has an appropriate constructor. There
are many times when a class cannot be instantiated this way, such as when
the class contains constructors that require arguments, that have side effects,
and/or that throw exceptions. As a result, it is common to see restrictions
in libraries stating that classes must require a default constructor.
Objenesis aims to overcome these restrictions by bypassing the constructor
on object instantiation. Needing to instantiate an object without calling
the constructor is a fairly specialized task, however there are certain cases
when this is useful:
* Serialization, Remoting and Persistence - Objects need to be instantiated
  and restored to a specific state, without invoking code.
* Proxies, AOP Libraries and Mock Objects - Classes can be sub-classed without
  needing to worry about the super() constructor.
* Container Frameworks - Objects can be dynamically instantiated in
  non-standard ways.

Fedora 40: objenesis 2024-129d8ca6fc

Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

Objenesis is a small Java library that serves one purpose: to instantiate

a new object of a particular class.

Java supports dynamic instantiation of classes using Class.newInstance();

however, this only works if the class has an appropriate constructor. There

are many times when a class cannot be instantiated this way, such as when

the class contains constructors that require arguments, that have side effects,

and/or that throw exceptions. As a result, it is common to see restrictions

in libraries stating that classes must require a default constructor.

Objenesis aims to overcome these restrictions by bypassing the constructor

on object instantiation. Needing to instantiate an object without calling

the constructor is a fairly specialized task, however there are certain cases

when this is useful:

* Serialization, Remoting and Persistence - Objects need to be instantiated

and restored to a specific state, without invoking code.

* Proxies, AOP Libraries and Mock Objects - Classes can be sub-classed without

needing to worry about the super() constructor.

* Container Frameworks - Objects can be dynamically instantiated in

non-standard ways.
