#45 Bump com.google.errorprone:error_prone_core to 2.49.0

[fabian-barney]

Implementation Summary

• Scope: refresh the error_prone_core 2.49.0 bump from PR Bump com.google.errorprone:error_prone_core from 2.48.0 to 2.49.0 #45 onto current main.
• Key changes: update pom.xml from 2.48.0 to 2.49.0 and validate the full PR workflow commands on current main.
• Non-goals: no source-code changes, no behavior changes, and no dependency additions beyond the requested version bump.

Validation

• Tests executed: ./mvnw -B -ntp -Pnullaway test; ./mvnw -B -ntp -P!quality-gates-all,quality-gate-crap verify; ./mvnw -B -ntp -P!quality-gates-all,quality-gate-cognitive verify
• Manual checks: confirmed the repository does not use the Error Prone APIs removed in 2.49.0.
• Residual risks: the original dependabot PR Bump com.google.errorprone:error_prone_core from 2.48.0 to 2.49.0 #45 failed on its older branch state; this replacement PR is validated on current main.

Supersedes #45.

Pull request overview

This PR refreshes the com.google.errorprone:error_prone_core dependency bump onto current main, keeping the build’s Error Prone / NullAway toolchain up to date without altering production code behavior.

Changes:

• Bump error_prone_core from 2.48.0 to 2.49.0 via the shared Maven property in pom.xml.

Follow-up after the failing pipeline repro:

The failing -Pnullaway job was not caused by project source code. A clean compile with error_prone_core=2.49.0 failed while initializing NullAway:

• java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/errorprone/predicates/type/DescendantOf

NullAway 0.13.1 still referenced an Error Prone API removed in 2.49.0. I aligned nullaway.version to 0.13.2, which is the first NullAway release that explicitly updates to Error Prone 2.49.0.

Clean local validation after the fix:

• ./mvnw -B -ntp -Pnullaway clean test
• ./mvnw -B -ntp -P!quality-gates-all,quality-gate-crap clean verify
• ./mvnw -B -ntp -P!quality-gates-all,quality-gate-cognitive clean verify
