The initial support for synthesizing an annotation from a Map (or AnnotationAttributes) introduced in SPR-13067 required that the map contain key-value pairs for every attribute defined by the supplied annotationType. However, there are use cases that would benefit from being able to supply a reduced set of attributes and still have the annotation synthesized properly. This commit refines the validation mechanism in MapAnnotationAttributeExtractor so that a reduced set of attributes may be supplied. Specifically, if an attribute is missing in the supplied map the attribute will be set either to value of its alias (if an alias value configured via @AliasFor exists) or to the value of the attribute's default value (if defined), and otherwise an exception will be thrown. Furthermore, TransactionalTestExecutionListener has been refactored to take advantage of this new feature by synthesizing an instance of @TransactionConfiguration solely from the default values of its declared attributes. Issue: SPR-13087
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 Spring organization on GitHub for a full list.

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.
Prerequisites
Git and JDK 8 update 20 or later
Be sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the jdk1.8.0 folder
extracted from the JDK download.
Check out sources
git clone git@github.com:spring-projects/spring-framework.git
Import sources into your IDE
Run ./import-into-eclipse.sh or read import-into-idea.md as appropriate.
Note: Per the prerequisites above, ensure that you have JDK 8 configured properly in your IDE.
Install all spring-* jars into your local Maven cache
./gradlew install
Compile and test; build all jars, distribution zips, and docs
./gradlew build
... and discover more commands with ./gradlew tasks. See also the Gradle
build and release FAQ.
