Update the exception message used when Assert.instanceOf fails such
that it expects the provided message to end with '.'. This reverts
commit 5874383ef0 which caused the
implementation to be at odds with the JavaDoc and the previous
release.
The updated code also has the benefit of protecting against a null
message.
Issue: SPR-10269
Add a static factory method that can be used to create an array
TypeDescriptor with a specific element type. Allows array types
with generic elements to be constructed.
Issue: SPR-9792
JDK 5 introduced an XML-based properties file syntax. This commit
ensures that when such files are supplied as the underlying resource
for a ResourcePropertySource instance, they are routed appropriately
to Properties#loadFromXML as opposed to Properties#load.

- Polished Javadoc for isAnnotationDeclaredLocally() and
isAnnotationInherited().
- Removed unnecessary call to Arrays.asList() in
isAnnotationDeclaredLocally().
Fix serialization warnings by applying @SuppressWarnings("serial")
when appropriate.
In certain cases and for unknown reasons, a correctly-placed
@SuppressWarnings("serial") annotation will fix the warning at the
javac level (i.e. the Gradle command-line), but will produce an
"unnecessary @SuppressWarnings" warning within Eclipse. In these
cases, a private static final serialVersionUID field has been added
with the default value of 1L.
Previously the algorithm used by GenericConversionService to find
converters incorrectly searched for interfaces working up from the
base class. This caused particular problems with custom List
converters as as the Collection interface would be considered before
the List interface giving CollectionToObjectConverter precedence
over the custom converter.
The updated algorithm restores the class search order to behave in the
same way as Spring 3.1.

In particular, avoiding synchronized Sets and Maps wherever possible (preferring a ConcurrentHashMap even instead of a synchronized Set) and specifying appropriate ConcurrentHashMap initial capacities (even if we end up choosing 16).
- Support external Javadoc links using Gradle's javadoc.options.links
- Fix all other Javadoc warnings, such as typos, references to
non-existent (or no longer existent) types and members, etc,
including changes related to the Quartz 2.0 upgrade (SPR-8275) and
adding the HTTP PATCH method (SPR-7985).
- Suppress all output for project-level `javadoc` tasks in order to
hide false-negative warnings about cross-module @see and @link
references (e.g. spring-core having a @see reference to spring-web).
Use the `--info` (-i) flag to gradle at any time to see project-level
javadoc warnings without running the entire `api` task. e.g.
`gradle :spring-core:javadoc -i`
- Favor root project level `api` task for detection of legitimate
Javadoc warnings. There are now zero Javadoc warnings across the
entirety of spring-framework. Goal: keep it that way.
- Remove all @link and @see references to types and members that exist
only in Servlet <= 2.5 and Hibernate <= 4.0, favoring 3.0+ and 4.0+
respectively. This is necessary because only one version of each of
these dependencies can be present on the global `api` javadoc task's
classpath. To that end, the `api` task classpath has now been
customized to ensure that the Servlet 3 API and Hibernate Core 4 jars
have precedence.
- SPR-8896 replaced our dependency on aspectjrt with a dependency on
aspectjweaver, which is fine from a POM point of view, but causes
a spurious warning to be emitted from the ant iajc task that it
"cannot find aspectjrt on the classpath" - even though aspectjweaver
is perfectly sufficient. In the name of keeping the console quiet, a
new `rt` configuration has been added, and aspectjrt added as a
dependency to it. In turn, configurations.rt.asPath is appended to
the iajc classpath during both compileJava and compileTestJava for
spring-aspects.

Added "clearCache()" method to CachingMetadataReaderFactory, for clearing the metadata cache once not needed anymore - in particular when the MetadataReaderFactory instance is long-lived. Also added "setMetadataReaderFactory" method to ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider, analogous to ConfigurationClassPostProcessor.
Prior to this change, the INSTANCE constant one could refer to on
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator actually referred to the constant
declared in the OrderAwareComparator superclass. Thus
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator#INSTANCE did not actually return an
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator but an OrderAwareComparator instead. This
commit introduces a dedicated constant on AnnotationAwareOrderComparator
to avoid this glitch.
Issue: SPR-10038
Develop a new ConcurrentMap implementation that support both weak and
soft entry references. Intended primarily to be used internally to
support fast concurrent caching.
Issue: SPR-9796
Prior to this commit, calls to ConfigurableEnvironment#addActiveProfile
would cause any active profile values provided via the
"spring.profiles.active" property to be ignored.
Now these two mechanisms can be used in conjunction and work as
expected.
