Update packages

[madduci]

Hi

I've performed an upgrade of many libraries to resolve important CVEs.

I had to change some code to address deprecated / removed / unused code.

Current Status: some tests are still failing, mostly due to dirty context, i am trying to correct them

I've also applied mvn spotless:apply, but the GitHub Action is still failing

This Pull Request has failed the formatting check

Please run mvn spotless:apply or mvn clean install -DskipTests to fix the formatting issues.

You can automate this auto-formatting process to execute on the git pre-push hook, by installing pre-commit and then calling pre-commit install --hook-type pre-push. This will cause formatting to run automatically whenever you push.

Hi @madduci - Thanks for the contribution! This looks to be failing quite a few CI tests though, it's not currently in a state that could be merged.
