Introduce new @Conditional annotation that can be used to filter
which @Configuration classes or methods are loaded. @Conditional
can be used directly or as a meta-annotation. Condition implementations
are provided via the 'Condition' interface and are free to filter based
on any criteria available at the time that they run. The
ConditionalContext provides access to the BeanDefinitionRegistry,
Environment and ConfigurableListableBeanFactory along with a
ResourceLoader and ClassLoader.
The existing @Profile annotation has been refactored as a @Conditional
with the added benefit that it can now be used as a method level
annotation.
Update AnnotationMetadata and MethodMetadata to extend from a new
AnnotatedTypeMetadata base interface containing the methods that are
common to both. Also introduce new getAllAnnotationAttributes methods
providing MultiValueMap access to both annotation and meta-annotation
attributes.
Existing classreading and standard implementations have been
refactored to support the new interface.
Add PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer.getAppliedPropertySources() to
allow access to the PropertySources that were actually applied.

Update ServletContextAwareProcessor to allow subclasses to support late
binding of the ServletConfig and/or ServletContext. Allows for the
post-processor to be registered before the servlet environment has been
initialized.
Issue: SPR-10381
Change FrameworkServlet so that it can also be used as a bean within an
existing ApplicationContext. Primarily added to support use with
embedded servlet containers where Spring bootstraps the servlet
container, rather than the servlet container bootstrapping Spring.

Removed spring-beans.dtd (the 1.x variant) and spring-oxm-1.5.xsd (pre-Spring-Framework variant), in order to raise the backwards compatibility limit a little bit at least. We'll keep supporting the 2.0 and 2.5 xsd versions for the time being, as well as spring-beans-2.0.dtd.
Removed the ref 'local' attribute in spring-beans-4.0.xsd since 'local' lost its differentiating role to a regular bean ref back in the 3.1 days when we started allowing for the same bean id to reappear in a different beans section of the same configuration file (with a different profile).
Issue: SPR-10437
Add temporary Assume.canLoadNativeDirFonts() method allowing failing
jasper report tests to be bypassed on OSX.
This should be revisited when JDK 8 is released.
Issue: SPR-10537
Allow classes that are annotated with @Import to be considered as 'lite'
@Configuration candidates. Allows the AnnotationConfigApplicationContext
to directly register @Import beans even if they are not @Components.
Issue: SPR-10533
Implementations of Spring's ImportSelector interface may
now implement any of the following *Aware interfaces and have their
respective methods called prior to #registerBeanDefinitions:
- BeanFactoryAware
- BeanClassLoaderAware
- ResourceLoaderAware

Specifically set the source level in generated eclipse projects to 1.7
rather than 1.8. Allows the current eclipse milestone (4.3 M6) in
combination with JDK 8.0 to be used for Spring 4.0 development.
This commit removes the use of @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") for
code in the spring-test module that no longer references deprecated code.
Issue: SPR-10499
Specifically, we need to avoid "... ? this.method : this.constructor" expressions since those potentially select java.lang.reflect.Executable (which is only available on JDK 8) as common type and hardcode this into the generated bytecode (which therefore becomes JDK 8 dependent).
This allows for restoring a static MessageSourceResourceBundleLocator implementation, just implementing the interface at the new spi location introduced in HV 4.3 and preserved in 5.0.
