Code polishing in DomainObjectMerger and related test cases. Fixed the related test cases. Cleanups in ControllerUtils to remove unneeded constants and make sure we really render no content for empty responses.
Refactorings in controller classes to reduce code duplication. We now do not allow POST requests for partial updates to property reference resources anymore but require the usage of PATCH.
Tweaked test helper methods to correctly implement basic interaction patterns.

CrudRepositoryInvoker now detects re-declared CRUD methods and falls back to reflection invocation if the re-declaration is detected.
Inspired by PR #126 by Nick Weedon but avoiding the introduction of a dependency to Spring Security by using a more precise testing approach.
Original pull request: #126.
ValidatingRepositoryEntityListener previous referred to a Repositories instance which causes a circular reference on initialization after some changes in Spring Data Commons Repositories.
Major cleanups in the ValidatingRepositoryEntityListener implementation.
Generally polished implementation and test cases for Greg's contribution.
Re-ordered parameters in ControllerUtils' helper methods for consistency.
Use Spring's CollectionFactory to create a suitable collection for the handled properties in the first place to avoid unnecessary conversion later on.
Removed duplication in test cases. Polished JavaDoc in UriListHttpMessageConverter and moved to a Scanner based implementation to read the request body.
Adapted to latest changes in Spring HATEOAS. Reactivated ResourceStringUtilsTests.

@RepositoryRestResource exposes more detailed attributes tailored to the use case of exposing a repository. @RestResource is still recognized on repository interfaces but we now issue a warning and indicate the new annotation to be used.
Introduced a minimal ResourceDescription interface and let @Description be used within @RestResource and @RepositoryRestResource. We now generate default resource bundle keys and resolve them against a "rest-messages" resource bundle by default. JsonSchema converter now uses the rendered descriptions for schema descriptions.
If the resource exposed for a domain or repository type is considered a paging resource we now return a templated URI. Introduced ResourceMapping.isPagingResource() to allow clients to find out about whether the resource is actually capable of pagination. Adapted implementations to inspect the findAll(…) method as well as the search methods for a Pageable parameter.
Tweaked pom.xml to create correct classpaths if the IDE uses direct workspace project references.
MethodResourceMapping now exposes the parameters a query method expects. The RepositorySearchController the uses these to append the
Upgraded to Spring Data Commons 1.7.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.
Removed the attempt to add a link to the response for non-associations. Switched to the usage of Simple(Property|Association)Handlers for simplified generics.
Set order of RepositoryRestHandlerMapping to LOWEST_PRECEDENCE - 100 to give core Spring Framework components the chance to hook into the right place in the chain.
Refactored RepositoryRestHandlerMapping to really check for the exposed path and added test cases for handler method resolution.
PersistentEntityJackson2Module now entirely relies on the property mapping to do the right thing for link creation. The PropertyResourceMapping now returns the property name for both rel and path.
Merged core and repository modules into core. Renamed some packages for consistency in naming and in preparation to break up some package cycles. Removed @BaseUri and the according resolver. Refactored controllers a bit to have more reusable chunks of code.
Simplified new RepositoryMappings infrastructure. Integrated EvoInflectionRelProvider to build collection resource rels. Bumped version number to 2.0 as we're going to break backwards compatibility with the next release to straighten out the rel construction and mapping.
Additional changes include:
* Re-wrote the monolithic Controller into separate controller classes that have a more narrow focus.
* Implemented common functionality as a `HandlerMethodArgumentResolver` rather than as a helper method in a controller class.
* Re-implemented JSONP functionality as an HttpMessageConverter rather than inline within a controller class.
* Updated to Jackson 2 for all JSON handling.
* By relying on spring-data-commons, spring-data-rest now handles all supported Repository types: JPA, MongoDB, and GemFire.
Added support for MongoDB and GemFire repositories by relying on spring-data-commons to provide the metadata rather than maintaining internal metadata information that is store-specific.
Replaced Spock spec tests with JMock unit and integration tests. Started integrating Jetty 8 into the testing so MVC testing can be done against a live server.
