Covers ReflectionUtils.doWithMethods as well as affected annotation post-processors.
Includes an extension of MethodMetadata for the detection of @Bean default methods.

Previously, only indexed access for collections were supported. When
attempting to access the element of an array that had not the requested
size, the call would fail with an IndexOutOfBoundException
This commit harmonize the binding support so that the array is updated
according to the requested index if necessary.

Add a protected getFlattenedMap method to the YamlProcessor that
subclasses can use to flatten a source Map so that it has the same
entries as the Properties, but retains order.

This commit adds an explicit support for String array for value
resolution. <util:properties> switches the 'locations' property to a
String array in 662d8aa and this broke expression evaluation.

Snake YAML allows for duplicate keys in map nodes. See
https://code.google.com/p/snakeyaml/issues/detail?id=199
This commit uses a dedicated Constructor extension that explicitly
checks for such duplicate keys.

This commit fixes a potential NPE when determining the priority of a
bean instance in case multiple candidates exist and no bean was marked
as @Primary
Issue: SPR-12024
Commit 5fe8f52 introduced a support for @Priority as an alternative to
@Primary but it broke the semantic of the priority value. This commit
fixes this inconsistency.
As for @Order, the lowest value means the highest priority so if
several beans are candidates for injection, the one having the lowest
value will be used.

This commit adds a nested path support for DirectFieldAccessor that is
similar to what BeanWrapper provides. It is now possible to use
expressions such as "person.address.city.name" to access the name of
the city that a given person lives in using fields to traverse the
graph.
DirectFieldAccessor also now supports an auto-grow option to create
a default instance for a "null" intermediate path. This option is
false by default and leads to a NullValueInNestedPathException in such
a case.
This commit also harmonizes part of the tests suite so that core tests
are shared between BeanWrapperImpl and DirectFieldAccessor.
Note that map and list access is not implemented as part of this
commit.
Issue: SPR-9705
Includes support for arbitrary deep nesting levels in DependencyDescriptor's getDependencyType() and MethodParameter's getNestedParameterType().
Issue: SPR-11833
This commit introduces OrderProvider and OrderProviderComparator, two
interfaces designed to externalize how a collection of element is sorted
according to their order value.
FactoryAwareOrderProvider is an OrderProvider implementation that knows
about the objects to order and the corresponding BeanFactory instance.
This allows to retrieve additional metadata about the actual instances
to sort, such as its factory method.
A @Bean method can now holds an additional @Order to define the order
value that this bean should have when injected as part of a collection
or array.
