Pick up fix for regression in version 0.2.3 that caused project-specific
images, e.g. diagrams not to be copied into the images/ folder, thereby
causing broken image links online and in the PDF.
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).
Previously buildSrc/src/main/groovy was a source folder within Eclipse.
This caused build errors due to missing dependencies for Gradle.
This commit removes buildSrc/src/main/groovy from the source folders
within Eclipse to prevent errors from being displayed.
This change upgrades the spring-framework build to AspectJ 1.7.1 to
ensure compatibility. We remain backward-compatible to at least AJ
1.6.12 (the previous version), and likely back to 1.6.7.
AJ 1.7 allows for weaving Java 7 bytecode, particularly with regard
to invokedynamic instructions, and furthermore makes improvements to
the aspectj language itself to allow users to take advantage of Java 7-
style language features within aspects. See [1] for details.

Issue: SPR-10079
- 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.

Prior to this change, aggregated javadoc has been written to an 'api'
dir and reference docs into a 'reference' dir. This shorter naming is
desirable, but is not compatible with historical naming under 3.1.x as
defined by the Ant+Ivy Spring Build.
For example, URLs are currently as follows:
http://static.springsource.org/spring-framework/docs/3.1.3.RELEASE/javadoc-apihttp://static.springsource.org/spring-framework/docs/3.1.x/javadoc-apihttp://static.springsource.org/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api
Particularly with regard to the 'current' link, we do not want to
break this url scheme with the shortened 'api' directory naming. Of
course this compatibility can be preserved with symlinks, but this makes
the release process that much more complicated and fragile.
This commit ensures that the naming is 'javadoc-api' and
'spring-framework-reference', consistent with historical convention.
We can always add a symlinking scheme to add the shorter 'api' and
'reference' options after the fact if desired.
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.
This commit adds documentation to the "New Features and Enhancements in
Spring 3.2" section of the reference manual regarding new testing
features.
Issue: SPR-9941
This commit adds documentation for the following new features in the
Spring TestContext Framework within the Testing chapter of the reference
manual.
- @WebAppConfiguration and context caching
- WebDelegatingSmartContextLoader
- AnnotationConfigWebContextLoader
- GenericXmlWebContextLoader
- Loading a WebApplicationContext in integration tests
- ServletTestExecutionListener
- Testing request and session scoped beans
Issue: SPR-9864
This commit adds Javadoc documentation for the WebApplicationContext
testing support that was recently introduced in the Spring TestContext
Framework.

Update tiles.xml files used with tests to reference tiles-config_3_0
instead of tiles-config_2_1 DTD.
Prior to this commit tiles based tests would fail when building
offline or behind a proxy server.
Previously it was cumbersome to associate data or behavior to a
DeferredResult because it was marked as final and had no extension
points.
Now DeferredResult is non-final which allows subclasses to associate
additional data and behavior to it.
