Refactor ConfigurationClassParser to recursively find values from
all @Import annotations, combining them into a single unique set.
This change prevents ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrars from being
invoked twice.

Allow the body of 'arg-type' XML elements to be used as an alternative to
'match' attribute when defining a 'replace-method' in XML configuration.
This change has been introduced primarily to support the samples printed
in the Apress 'Pro Spring' book.

Refactor ConfigurationClassEnhancer to allow cglib caching of
generated classes. Prior to this commit each enhanced @Configuration
class would consume permgen space when created.
The CallbackFilter and Callback Types are now defined as static final
members so that they can be shared by all enhancers. Only the
callbackInstances remain specific to a @Configuration class and
these are not used by cglib as part of the cache key.

Reverted change for @Bean methods that declare FactoryBean as their return type: The effects of trying to create the FactoryBean to find out about its implementation type are too far-reaching. It's better to recommend declaring a specific return type in the method signature if you want the container to specifically react to your implementation type.

Includes a change for factory methods that declare their return type as FactoryBean: When asked for a specific type match (e.g. LoadTimeWeaverAware), we do check early singleton instances as well (reusing the instances that we create for getObjectType checks). This is necessary in order to make @Bean method introspection as capable as XML bean definition introspection, even in case of the @Bean method using a generic FactoryBean declaration for its return type (instead of the FactoryBean impl class).

These features require Java 6 or higher due to their dependency on the ResourceBundle.Control class. To some degree, ResourceBundleMessageSource catches up with ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource now. However, as noted in the javadoc, there are still severe limitations in the standard ResourceBundle class that justify an ongoing investment in our own ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource (based on the Spring resource abstraction, with manual parsing of properties files).
