Fix find_dependency() calls so that PRIVATE-linked libraries are only
propagated as transitive link requirements for static library targets
Add missing find_dependency() calls for some PRIVATE-linked libraries
Fix issue where parallel-enabled HDF5 can fail to locate MPI Fortran
support, even when HDF5 Fortran support isn't requested
Set HDF5_LIB_TYPE to only shared or static, depending on requested
library type, rather than a list that could include both shared and
static
Fix HDF5_LIB_TYPE being undefined when components are specified, but
shared/static isn't
Reduce scope of modifications to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH so changes aren't
propagated to consuming projects
Add check for both shared and static libraries being requested and fail
if so
Remove enable_language() call in favor of checking enabled languages and
failing if required language isn't enabled
Add missing CMake variable for digitally signed plugins feature
Fix CMake variable for HDF5_DIMENSION_SCALES_NEW_REF option
* Re-write zlib/szip CMake logic for clarity
* Update external libaec, zlib-ng and zlib builds to not use patching process
* Add FindZLIBNG module to locate zlib-ng on system
* Rework HDF5 filter plugins support
Build-tree exports can't diverge from install-tree exports — the export(EXPORT ...) reads directly from the install export sets. No manual list to keep in sync.
Removed 3 global variables (HDF5_STATIC_LIBRARIES_TO_EXPORT, HDF5_JAVA_LIBRARIES_TO_EXPORT, HDF5_UTILS_TO_EXPORT) and their ~21 set_global_variable calls across tool/utility files.
Fixed the static-only build bug in the PR where the base export set was guarded by BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, breaking tools export.
Removed redundant utils in export files — the PR was dumping tools into all three build-tree export files (java, static, shared). Now they correctly appear only in the base export.
It is considered best practice for cmake package configuration files to use "find_dependency" instead of "find_package".
This is because it can propagate flags properly, gives more clear error messages and is able to avoid duplicate dependency include issues.
This change fixes an issue I am seeing in some external cmake projects when including hdf5. As per issue report here https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues/6107
FFM build requires Java 25, Jextract 25.
Generates FFM bindings during configure.
JNI is default when the requirements are not met or can be forced.
Presets added for maven and FFM - JNI is default selection.
Enhanced Maven options will work with either JNI or FFM
New Workflows for testing and maven uploads.
Extensive documentation changes for java.
This update systematically renames variables across 2.0+ CMake files in the HDF5Examples directory and configuration templates. The goal is to change variables from sounding like build "options" (e.g., HDF5_BUILD_TOOLS, HDF5_ENABLE_PARALLEL) to reflecting library "state" (e.g., what features the installed library provides).
