Previously (since Spring 3.1.1) RecursiveAnnotationAttributesVisitor
logs at level WARN when ASM parsing encounters an annotation or an (enum
used within an annotation) that cannot be classloaded. This is not
necessarily indicative of an error, e.g. JSR-305 annotations such as
@Nonnull may be used only for static analysis purposes, but because
these annotations have runtime retention, they remain present in the
bytecode. Per section 9.6.1.2 of the JLS, "An annotation that is present
in the binary may or may not be available at run-time via the reflective
libraries of the Java platform."
This commit lowers the log level of these messages from warn to debug,
but leaves at warn level other messages dealing with the ability
reflectively read enum values from within annotations.

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.
