Also activated building on the new container infrastructure to use artifact caching.
Removed JDK 6 and 7 builds as the build on these VMs will fail due to the Optional stub causing NoClassDefFoundErrors.
We're now using the newly introduced method on ControllerLinkBuilderFactory that takes both a type and a method to forward the method the invocation is happening on independently from the method being invoked.
The repository method invocation mechanism now post-processes the result of the actual method invocation in case it's not type-compatible with the return type of the invoked method and invokes a conversion if applicable. This allows us to register custom converters for well-known wrapper types. We currently support Optional from both Google Guava and JDK 8.
Implementation notice
We use some JDK 8 type stubs from the Spring Data Build project to be able to compile using JDKs < 8. This is necessary as we need to remain compatible with Spring 3.2.x for the Dijkstra release train and our test executions still run into some issues with it a Java 8 runtime (mostly ASM related). These issues were reported in [0, 1] and we'll probably get off the hack for Dijkstra GA by upgrading to Spring 3.2.9.

Upgraded to Spring Data Build parent 1.3.0.RC1 and Spring HATEOAS 0.9.0.RELEASE. Switched to milestone repositories. Updated changelog and adapted notice.txt.
PagedResourcesAssembler now adds a LinkTemplate to every PagedResources instance created and pulls the template variable information from the registered resolvers for Pageable and Sort.
Extended PageableResourceAssemblerArgumentResolver to create a special MethodParameterAwarePagedResourcesAssembler so that the assembler will take qualifier information into account when being injected into controller methods.
Upgraded to Spring HATEOAS 0.9.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT to be able to benefit from new methods added to MethodParameters as well as the LinkTemplate class. Updated Sonargraph architecture definition to allow the web layer to access logging.
