build in a dedicated file like:
```
spring-core/spring-core.gradle

Includes general streamlining of dependency declarations with reduced version variables, direct use of EclipseLink 2.7 and its implicit JPA 2.2 dependency in spring-orm, mixed use of Hibernate 5.2.10 and 5.1.10 for integration tests, as well as an upgrade to Jetty 9.4.7 RC0 and a downgrade to Groovy 2.4.12 (since Groovy 2.5 won't be final in time for Spring Framework 5.0).

Bean-derived null values may still get passed into bean properties and injection points but only if those are declared as non-required. Note that getBean will never return null; a manual bean.equals(null) / "null".equals(bean.toString()) check identifies expected null values now. This will only ever happen with custom FactoryBeans or factory methods returning null - and since all common cases are handled by autowiring or bean property values in bean definitions, there should be no need to ever manually check for such a null value received from getBean.

methods (simple String comparison) and creates separate
redirectedUrlTemplate and forwardedUrlTemplate methods that expand
and also encode before comparing.

This commit revises the implementation of the SpringExtension to use
the getRequired*() methods in the ExtensionContext which are now built
into JUnit Jupiter thanks to inspiration from the initial "convenience"
methods implemented here.
The PathPattern compareTo method is now consistent with equals when
two patterns are of the same specificity but otherwise different.
Separately PathPattern now exposes a Comparator by specificity that
offers the current functionality of compareTo. This can be used for
actual sorting where we only care about specificity.
Consistent behavior with matches(PathContainer), the two had slightly
different logic for handling of empty paths.
Make matchAndExtract independantly usable without the need to call
matches(PathContainer) first. Essentially no longer raising ISE if the
pattern doesn't match but simply returning null.
