This change resolves a specific issue with processing java.math.BigDecimal via ExtendedBeanInfo. BigDecimal has a particular constellation of #setScale methods that, prior to this change, had the potential to cause ExtendedBeanInfo to throw an IntrospectionException depending on the order in which the methods were processed. Because JDK 7 no longer returns deterministic results from Class#getDeclaredMethods, it became a genuine possibility - indeed a statistical certainty that the 'wrong' setScale method handling order happens sooner or later. Typically one could observe this failure once out of every four test runs. This commit introduces deterministic method ordering of all discovered non-void returning write methods in such a way that solves the problem for BigDecimal as well as for any other class having a similar method arrangement. Also: - Remove unnecessary cast - Pass no method information to PropertyDescriptor superclasses when invoking super(...). This ensures that any 'type mismatch' IntrospectionExceptions are handled locally in ExtendedBeanInfo and its Simple* PropertyDescriptor variants where we have full control. Issue: SPR-10111, SPR-9702
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.
Downloading artifacts

Documentation
See the current Javadoc and reference docs.
Getting support
Check out the Spring forums and the spring and spring-mvc tags on Stack Overflow. Commercial support is available too.
Issue Tracking
Report issues via the Spring Framework JIRA. Understand our issue management process by reading about the lifecycle of an issue. Think you've found a bug? Please consider submitting a reproduction project via the spring-framework-issues GitHub repository. The readme there provides simple step-by-step instructions.
Building from source
The Spring Framework uses a Gradle-based build system. In the instructions
below, ./gradlew is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as
a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build. The only
prerequisites are Git and JDK 1.7+.
check out sources
git clone git://github.com/SpringSource/spring-framework.git
compile and test, build all jars, distribution zips and docs
./gradlew build
install all spring-* jars into your local Maven cache
./gradlew install
import sources into your IDE
Run ./import-into-eclipse.sh or read import-into-idea.md as appropriate.
... and discover more commands with ./gradlew tasks. See also the Gradle
build and release FAQ.
