See https://jira.springsource.org/browse/BATCHADM-176 Must be applied after https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/pull/231 As part of this, I had to update the dependency on spring-batch to 3.0.0-BUILD_SNAPSHOT. Because of this dependency change, I had to add two methods to JobRepositorySupport. It looks like a stub class, so I left the two methods implemented as stubs.
