DynamoDBLocal 1.20.0 does not work with spring-boot-starter-data-jpa 3.1.4 because of mismatching antlr4 versions

[raftheunis87]

Describe the bug

When creating a project that is using both the DynamoDBLocal 2.0.0 and the spring-boot-starter-data-jpa 3.1.4 dependencies, there is an error because of mismatching antlr4 versions.

It looks like DynamoDBLocal 2.0.0 is using antlr4 4.5.1, while spring-boot-starter-data-jpa is using antlr4 4.10.1.

Expected Behavior

Update DynamoDBLocal to use antlr 4.10.1 so that it works together nicely with the latest version of spring boot 3.

Current Behavior

Reproduction Steps

Create a new spring boot project, include spring-boot-starter-data-jpa (3.1.4) and DynamoDBLocal 1.20.0 as dependencies.

Possible Solution

Regenerate DynamoDBLocal code with antlr4 4.10.1.

@debora-ito, I'm tagging you here as I noticed you did follow-up previous DynamoDBLocal tickets, and I assume this is actually only a couple of minutes of work to publish a new version that uses antlr4 4.10.1.

Is there btw a specific reason why DynamoDBLocal is closed source?

[debora-ito]

@raftheunis87 the DynamoDBLocal library is not maintained by the Java SDK team, so we don't know what's the effort to make the dependency change.

The DynamoDBLocal team asked that issues with DynamoDBLocal should be open at https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-dynamodb-local-samples, they are tracking that repo directly. I can't transfer the issue unfortunately, so you'll need to create a new one.

[raftheunis87]

Thanks @debora-ito for the information. I have created an issue on that repo: awslabs/amazon-dynamodb-local-samples#5

This issue can be closed then.
