Commit3f387eb9cfrefactored and deprecated TransactionAspectUtils, moving its #qualifiedBeanOfType and related methods into BeanFactoryUtils. This created a package cycle between beans.factory and beans.factory.annotation due to use of the beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier annotation in these methods. This commit breaks the package cycle by introducing beans.factory.annotation.BeanFactoryAnnotationUtils and moving these @Qualifier-related methods to it. It is intentionally similar in name and style to the familiar BeanFactoryUtils class for purposes of discoverability. There are no backward-compatibilty concerns associated with this change as the cycle was introduced, caught and now fixed before a release.

Spring Framework
The Spring Framework provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform. A key element of Spring is infrastructural support at the application level: Spring focuses on the "plumbing" of enterprise applications so that teams can focus on application-level business logic, without unnecessary ties to specific deployment environments.
The framework also serves as the foundation for Spring Integration, Spring Batch and the rest of the Spring family of projects. Browse the repositories under the SpringSource organization on GitHub for a full list.
.NET and Python variants are available as well.
