Spring data elasticsearch fixes nanosecond date formatting

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Spring

Spring Data Elasticsearch shipped a fix for the formatting of `DateFormat.strict_date_optional_time_nanos` in the last 24 hours.

Spring Data Elasticsearch corrected the formatting of `DateFormat.strict_date_optional_time_nanos` [1], addressing issue #3334 [1]. The change ensures that dates using this format are serialized correctly, which matters for fields that need nanosecond precision. In spring-tools, Martin Lippert added handling for concatenated strings when extracting values from JDT AST nodes [2], improving how the IDE tooling parses string literals. The commit also includes a separate formatting change [3]. Spring Batch Extensions saw housekeeping: removing the unused `archunit-junit5` dependency [4] and bumping `wiremock-spring-boot` from 4.2.0 to 4.2.2 [5]. Additionally, Maven plugins were updated [6]. Overall, the changes are routine dependency updates and small fixes, with the most notable being the date formatting correction.
