+description: Migrates a Ballerina stdlib module from Gradle 8.x/Java 21 to Gradle 9.5.1 and Java 25. Use this skill whenever the user asks to do a Java 25 migration, Gradle 9.5.1 upgrade, java-25-migration branch work, or any version migration for a Ballerina stdlib module. After all code changes pass the build, the skill pushes to the upstream java-25-migration branch and creates a PR to master/main. Use this skill proactively whenever a Ballerina module repo is mentioned alongside any migration, upgrade, or java25 context — even if the user doesn't say "skill".
+---
+
+## What this skill does
+
+Migrates a Ballerina stdlib module from Gradle 8.x + Java 21 to Gradle 9.5.1 + Java 25 by making
+targeted, verified changes to the build system, verifying with a **full local build including tests**,
+then pushing to `upstream/java-25-migration` and opening a PR. The goal is a clean `./gradlew build`
+(full build + tests) with no errors **before** committing to the upstream repository.
+
+## Version Pins
+
+Always use these exact versions — do not deviate:
+
+| Component | Version |
+|---|---|
+| Gradle wrapper | `9.5.1` |
+| `ballerinaGradlePluginVersion` | `4.0.0` |
+| `ballerinaLangVersion` | `2201.14.0-20260527-050400-74f7e6bf` |
+| SpotBugs plugin (any `*spotbugs*` key) | `6.5.1` |
+| `net.researchgate.release` (any `*release*` key) | `3.1.0` |
+| Develocity plugin (settings.gradle) | `3.19.2` |
+| `jacocoVersion` | `0.8.13` |
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Branch setup
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b java-25-migration 2>/dev/null || git checkout java-25-migration
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
+
+Replace the `distributionUrl` line:
+```
+distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-9.5.1-bin.zip
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — settings.gradle
+
+### 3a. Replace enterprise plugin with Develocity
+```groovy
+// Before
+plugins {
+    id "com.gradle.enterprise" version "..."
+}
+
+// After
+plugins {
+    id "com.gradle.develocity" version "3.19.2"
+}
+```
+
+### 3b. Replace gradleEnterprise block
+```groovy
+// Before
+gradleEnterprise {
+    buildScan {
+        termsOfServiceUrl = 'https://gradle.com/terms-of-service'
+        termsOfServiceAgree = 'yes'
+    }
+}
+
+// After
+develocity {
+    buildScan {
+        termsOfUseUrl = 'https://gradle.com/terms-of-service'
+        termsOfUseAgree = 'yes'
+    }
+}
+```
+Note: the property names changed (`termsOfService*` → `termsOfUse*`).
+
+### 3c. Add mavenLocal() to pluginManagement repositories
+```groovy
+pluginManagement {
+    repositories {
+        mavenLocal()       // add this first
+        gradlePluginPortal()
+        // ... rest unchanged
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 — gradle.properties
+
+Update these properties (grep for the key names — they vary across repos):
+
+```bash
+# Find the right keys
+grep -i "spotbugs\|release\|ballerinaGradle\|ballerinaLang\|jacoco" gradle.properties
+```
+
+| What to find | New value |
+|---|---|
+| Key containing `spotbugs` and `version` (e.g. `spotbugsPluginVersion`, `githubSpotbugsVersion`) | `6.5.1` |
+| Key for `net.researchgate.release` (e.g. `releasePluginVersion`, `researchgateReleaseVersion`) | `3.1.0` |
+| `ballerinaGradlePluginVersion` | `4.0.0` |
+| `ballerinaLangVersion` | `2201.14.0-20260527-050400-74f7e6bf` |
+| Key containing `jacoco` and `version` (e.g. `jacocoVersion`) | `0.8.13` |
+
+> **Important — `ballerinaLangVersion`**: Always replace with the exact timestamped version above,
+> even if the repo already has a SNAPSHOT value like `2201.14.0-SNAPSHOT`. Generic SNAPSHOTs will
+> resolve to whatever was last published and will not match local Maven artifacts from the build.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 — root build.gradle
+
+### 5a. Fix `task build` conflict
+`net.researchgate.release` 3.1.0 registers its own `build` lifecycle task. If the root
+`build.gradle` declares `task build { ... }`, rename it to avoid a conflict:
+
+```groovy
+// Before
+task build {
+    dependsOn('some-subproject:build')
+}
+
+// After
+tasks.named('build') {
+    dependsOn('some-subproject:build')
+}
+```
+
+### 5b. Add Java 25 toolchain to subprojects
+In the `subprojects { }` block, add inside a `plugins.withId('java')` guard:
+
+```groovy
+subprojects {
+    // ...existing content...
+    plugins.withId('java') {
+        java {
+            toolchain {
+                languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(25)
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 6 — Fix deprecated `buildDir` in all build.gradle files
+
+Gradle 9 removed the `buildDir` property. Scan every `build.gradle`:
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "buildDir\|\.enabled = true" --include="*.gradle" .
+```
+
+Apply these replacements:
+
+| Old | New |
+|---|---|
+| `buildDir` (bare, as a file reference) | `layout.buildDirectory.get().asFile` |
+| `"$buildDir/some/path"` or `"${buildDir}/some/path"` | `layout.buildDirectory.dir("some/path").get().asFile` |
+| `dest buildDir` | `dest layout.buildDirectory.get().asFile` |
+| `reportsDir = file("$project.buildDir/reports/spotbugs")` | `reportsDir = layout.buildDirectory.dir("reports/spotbugs").get().asFile` |
+| `file("${buildDir}/checkstyle.xml")` in `artifacts.add(...)` | `layout.buildDirectory.file("checkstyle.xml")` |
+| `html.enabled = true` / `text.enabled = true` | `html.required = true` / `text.required = true` |
+| jacoco `reportsDirectory = file("${buildDir}/reports/jacoco")` | `reportsDirectory = layout.buildDirectory.dir("reports/jacoco")` |
+| jacoco `destinationFile = file("${buildDir}/jacoco/test.exec")` | `destinationFile = layout.buildDirectory.file("jacoco/test.exec").get().asFile` |
+
+### Also check for hardcoded jacoco toolVersion in build.gradle files
+
+Some modules hardcode the JaCoCo version directly in individual `build.gradle` files rather than
+using the `jacocoVersion` property from `gradle.properties`. JaCoCo older than 0.8.12 cannot
+instrument Java 25 class files (major version 69).
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "toolVersion.*0\.8\." --include="*.gradle" .
+```
+
+For any file that has `toolVersion = "0.8.10"` (or older) inside a `jacoco { }` block:
+```groovy
+// Before
+jacoco {
+    toolVersion = "0.8.10"
+}
+
+// After
+jacoco {
+    toolVersion = "0.8.13"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 7 — Remove deprecated sourceCompatibility / targetCompatibility
+
+When a Java toolchain is configured (Step 5b), Gradle 9 does not allow
+`sourceCompatibility` / `targetCompatibility` to be set alongside it — this causes a conflict
+or warning. Scan all `build.gradle` files:
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "sourceCompatibility\|targetCompatibility" --include="*.gradle" .
+```
+
+Remove any lines that set these to `JavaVersion.VERSION_21` (or `'21'`, `21`). If they reference
+a different version that the project genuinely needs, keep them, but that is unlikely during this
+migration since the toolchain now controls the version.
+
+Example:
+```groovy
+// Remove this — toolchain handles it
+sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_21
+targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_21
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 8 — ballerina/build.gradle: ExecOperations + script patching
+
+`Project.exec()` was removed in Gradle 9. Also, the extracted `bal` binary needs patching for Java 25.
+
+### 8a. Add imports at the top of the file
+```groovy
+import org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.condition.Os
+import org.gradle.process.ExecOperations
+import org.gradle.jvm.toolchain.JavaLanguageVersion
+import org.gradle.jvm.toolchain.JavaToolchainService
+import javax.inject.Inject
+```
+
+### 8b. Add helper classes (before the `buildscript` block)
+```groovy
+abstract class BallerinaExecHelper {
+    @Inject abstract ExecOperations getExecOperations()
+}
+
+abstract class PatchBallerinaScriptsTask extends DefaultTask {
+    @Inject abstract JavaToolchainService getJavaToolchainService()
+
+    @TaskAction
+    void patch() {
+        def launcher = javaToolchainService.launcherFor { spec ->
+            spec.languageVersion.set(JavaLanguageVersion.of(25))
+        }.get()
+        def java25Home = launcher.executablePath.asFile.parentFile.parentFile.absolutePath
+
+        def binDirs = [
+            project.layout.buildDirectory.dir("jballerina-tools-${project.ballerinaLangVersion}/bin").get().asFile,
+            new File("${project.rootDir}/target/ballerina-runtime/bin")
+        ]
+        binDirs.each { binDir ->
+            if (binDir.exists()) {
+                binDir.eachFile { file ->
+                    file.setExecutable(true)
+                    if (!file.name.endsWith('.bat') && !file.name.endsWith('.cmd')) {
+                        def original = file.text
+                        def lines = original.split('\n').toList()
+                        // Remove flag removed in Java 25
+                        lines = lines.findAll { !it.contains('--sun-misc-unsafe-memory-access=allow') }
+                        // Inject JAVA_HOME so the bal script picks up Java 25
+                        def shebangIdx = lines.findIndexOf { it.startsWith('#!') }
+                        if (shebangIdx >= 0) {
+                            lines.add(shebangIdx + 1, "export JAVA_HOME='${java25Home}'")
+                        }
+                        def patched = lines.join('\n') + '\n'
+                        if (patched != original) { file.text = patched }
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 8c. Add mavenLocal() to buildscript repositories
+```groovy
+buildscript {
+    repositories {
+        mavenLocal()   // add before existing entries
+        maven { ... }
+    }
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+### 8d. Fix commitTomlFiles task
+Replace `project.exec {` with the injected helper:
+```groovy
+task commitTomlFiles {
+    def execHelper = project.objects.newInstance(BallerinaExecHelper)
+    doLast {
+        execHelper.execOperations.exec {
+            ignoreExitValue true
+            if (Os.isFamily(Os.FAMILY_WINDOWS)) {
+                commandLine 'cmd', '/c', "git commit -m \"[Automated] Update native jar versions in toml files\" Ballerina.toml Dependencies.toml"
+            } else {
+                commandLine 'sh', '-c', "git commit -m \"[Automated] Update native jar versions in toml files\" Ballerina.toml Dependencies.toml"
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+Keep the original commit message and file list exactly as they were — only replace `project.exec` with `execHelper.execOperations.exec`.
+
+### 8e. Add patchBallerinaScripts task and wire it
+```groovy
+task patchBallerinaScripts(type: PatchBallerinaScriptsTask) {
+    dependsOn 'unpackJballerinaTools'
+}
+
+// Wire to BOTH build and test — this is REQUIRED:
+// - build.dependsOn: ensures patching during `./gradlew build`
+// - test.dependsOn:  ensures patching when test runs separately (e.g. split CI invocation:
+//   first `./gradlew build -x test`, then `./gradlew test` — unpackJballerinaTools re-runs
+//   in the second invocation and the bal binary loses its execute bit and the patched script
+//   unless test also depends on patchBallerinaScripts)
+build.dependsOn patchBallerinaScripts
+test.dependsOn patchBallerinaScripts
+```
+
+If the module also has a `copyStdlibs` task, additionally wire
+`copyStdlibs.dependsOn patchBallerinaScripts` for correct ordering, but the two lines above
+are the required baseline for all modules.
+
+---
+
+## Step 9 — Fix Project.exec() in other build.gradle files
+
+Gradle 9 removed `Project.exec()`. In Groovy build scripts, a bare `exec { }` inside a task body
+also delegates to `project.exec` — so you need to find both forms:
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "project\.exec\|[^a-zA-Z]exec {" --include="*.gradle" .
+```
+
+Apply the same ExecOperations pattern (Steps 8a–8d) for each file found (common in
+`ballerina-tests/build.gradle`, `integration-tests/build.gradle`, `examples/build.gradle`). Use
+a unique class name per file to avoid collisions (e.g. `BallerinaTestsExecHelper`,
+`IntegrationTestsExecHelper`, `ExamplesExecHelper`).
+
+---
+
+## Step 10 — Update Ballerina.toml files
+
+Only update TOML files that have a `[platform.java21]` section:
+```bash
+grep -rl "platform.java21" --include="*.toml" .
+```
+
+For each match:
+- `[platform.java21]` → `[platform.java25]`
+- `[[platform.java21.dependency]]` → `[[platform.java25.dependency]]`
+- Update `distribution = "..."` in the `[package]` section to `"2201.14.0-20260527-050400-74f7e6bf"` where present
+
+---
+
+## Step 11 — SpotBugs exclusion files
+
+SpotBugs 4.9.x (bundled in plugin ≥ 6.2.0) introduces detectors that surface pre-existing issues.
+Add exclusions to the relevant `spotbugs-exclude.xml` files.
+
+First, find all exclude files:
+```bash
+find . -name "spotbugs-exclude.xml" -not -path "*/build/*"
+```
+
+**For the native module's exclude file** (handles main source analysis), add before `</FindBugsFilter>`:
+```xml
+<!-- Pre-existing issues surfaced by SpotBugs 4.9.x (bundled in plugin >= 6.2.0) -->
+<Match>
+    <BugCode name="THROWS"/>
+</Match>
+<Match>
+    <BugCode name="AT"/>
+</Match>
+<Match>
+    <BugCode name="USELESS_STRING"/>
+</Match>
+```
+
+**For compiler-plugin-tests exclude file** (if it exists), add before `</FindBugsFilter>`:
+```xml
+<!-- Pre-existing issues surfaced by SpotBugs 4.9.x (bundled in plugin >= 6.2.0) -->
+<Match>
+    <BugCode name="THROWS"/>
+</Match>
+```
+
+Some modules use a single shared `spotbugs-exclude.xml` (e.g. at repo root or `build-config/`).
+In that case, add all three exclusions (`THROWS`, `AT`, `USELESS_STRING`) to that single file.
+
+**Additional: DM (DM_DEFAULT_CHARSET)** — Some modules that do String/byte conversion without an
+explicit charset will also trigger a `DM` finding. If the build fails with SpotBugs reporting
+`DM_DEFAULT_CHARSET`, add this exclusion as well:
+```xml
+<Match>
+    <BugCode name="DM"/>
+</Match>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 12 — Update CI workflow
+
+Check which type of CI workflow the repo uses:
+
+```bash
+cat .github/workflows/pull-request.yml
+```
+
+### Repos using the shared template (most stdlib modules)
+
+If the workflow calls the shared template, update it from `@main` to `@java-25-migration`:
+
+```yaml
+# Before
+uses: ballerina-platform/ballerina-library/.github/workflows/pull-request-build-template.yml@main
+
+# After
+uses: ballerina-platform/ballerina-library/.github/workflows/pull-request-build-template.yml@java-25-migration
+```
+
+The `@java-25-migration` branch installs JDK 25 via `actions/setup-java@v4`, which is required for
+the Gradle Java 25 toolchain to resolve on CI runners (they don't have JDK 25 pre-installed).
+
+### Repos with a custom inline workflow (e.g. module-ballerina-observe, module-ballerinai-observe)
+
+If the workflow does NOT use the shared template and has inline build steps, update all Java
+version references in **every job** (ubuntu-build, windows-build, ubuntu-build-without-native-tests, etc.):
+
+```yaml
+# Before
+- name: Set up JDK 21
+  uses: actions/setup-java@v2   # or v3
+  with:
+    distribution: 'adopt'
+    java-version: 21
+
+# After
+- name: Set up JDK 25
+  uses: actions/setup-java@v4
+  with:
+    distribution: 'temurin'
+    java-version: 25
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 13 — Build verification (local, full)
+
+Run the **full build including tests** locally and verify it passes before committing:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew build
+```
+
+**If it fails, diagnose by error message:**
+
+| Error | Cause | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Unsupported class file major version 69` (SpotBugs) | SpotBugs too old | Verify `6.5.1` is set in gradle.properties |
+| `Error while instrumenting ... with JaCoCo ... Unsupported class file major version 69` | JaCoCo too old | Set `jacocoVersion=0.8.13` in `gradle.properties`; also check for hardcoded `toolVersion = "0.8.10"` in individual `build.gradle` files |
+| `key 'java25' not supported in schema 'platform'` | Old lang version | Verify `2201.14.0-20260527-050400-74f7e6bf` is in local Maven |
+| `Could not find method exec()` | Missed a `project.exec` or bare `exec {}` call | `grep -rn "project\.exec\|[^a-zA-Z]exec {" --include="*.gradle" .` |
+| `Permission denied` on bal binary | patchBallerinaScripts not wired | Check `build.dependsOn patchBallerinaScripts` and `test.dependsOn patchBallerinaScripts` |
+| `--sun-misc-unsafe-memory-access=allow` unrecognized | bal script not patched yet (task didn't run on prior extraction) | Manually patch extracted scripts and re-run |
+| SpotBugs exit code 1 or 3 | New bug findings | Read `*/build/reports/spotbugs/main.txt`, add specific `<BugCode>` exclusions |
+| `Cannot add task 'build'` | task build conflict | Apply Step 5a fix |
+| `sourceCompatibility` / `targetCompatibility` conflict | Toolchain + explicit compat set together | Apply Step 7 fix |
+
+Iterate until the full build (including tests) is clean **locally** before committing or pushing.
+
+---
+
+## Step 14 — Commit
+
+Stage all modified files (build.gradle files, gradle.properties, TOML files, spotbugs XMLs,
+gradle-wrapper.properties, settings.gradle, .github/workflows/pull-request.yml). Do NOT add a Co-Authored-By line.
+
+```bash
+git add <all modified files>
+git commit -m "Migrate to Gradle 9.5.1, Java 25, and Ballerina Lang 2201.14.0-20260527-050400-74f7e6bf

+## Step 15 — Push and create PR
+
+### Detect the default branch
+```bash
+git remote show upstream | grep 'HEAD branch' | awk '{print $NF}'
+```
+
+### Push ONLY to upstream java-25-migration
+```bash
+git push upstream java-25-migration

+
+- **Gradle 9.5.1**: Upgrade wrapper; replace removed \`buildDir\` API with \`layout.buildDirectory\`; replace \`Project.exec()\` with \`ExecOperations\` injection; migrate from \`com.gradle.enterprise\` to \`com.gradle.develocity\`; upgrade \`net.researchgate.release\` to 3.1.0
+- **Java 25**: Add Java 25 toolchain to all subprojects; upgrade Ballerina Gradle plugin to 4.0.0 and \`ballerinaLangVersion\` to \`2201.14.0-20260527-050400-74f7e6bf\`; update all \`[platform.java21]\` TOML sections to \`[platform.java25]\`; add \`patchBallerinaScripts\` task to remove the \`--sun-misc-unsafe-memory-access=allow\` JVM flag (removed in Java 25) from the extracted \`bal\` binary after unpack; wire \`test.dependsOn patchBallerinaScripts\` to ensure patching during split CI builds
+- **SpotBugs 6.5.1**: Upgrade for Java 25 class file support (requires SpotBugs 4.9.x / ASM 9.7+); add exclusions for \`THROWS\`, \`AT\`, and \`USELESS_STRING\` detectors introduced in SpotBugs 4.9.x
+- **JaCoCo 0.8.13**: Upgrade for Java 25 class file instrumentation support
+- **CI workflow**: Update to \`pull-request-build-template.yml@java-25-migration\` for JDK 25 runner support
+
+## Test plan
+- [ ] \`./gradlew build\` passes green locally (full build including tests)
+- [ ] \`.bala\` artifact is created as \`*-java25-*.bala\`
+- [ ] SpotBugs passes on native module and compiler-plugin-tests
+- [ ] CI passes on both Ubuntu and Windows"
