JIRA: https://jira.spring.io/browse/INT-4270 Initial Commit Remove `final` modifier from certain critical framework methods that prevent CGLib proxies working. Since Spring Boot 2.0 now uses proxyTargetClass=true by default (and has done that for transactional proxies since 1.4), we must relax these restrictions so that CGLib can proxy channels (which is often done to make subflows run in a transaction). When CGLib can't override a `final` method, the fields used within those methods are uninitialized. In the case of `AbstractMessageChannel` this causes an NPE on the unitiallized `dataTypes` field. With `MessageHandler`, fields like `shouldTrack` are always false. Further, methods on `IntegrationObjectSupport` - such as `getComponentName()` return null. I have left setters and `afterPropertiesSet` (on IOS) `final` since these will typically be called before the object is proxied. I suspect there will be other methods we need to open up, but perhaps we should only do them on-demand. __cherry-pick to 4.3.x__
Spring Integration

Checking out and Building
To check out the project and build from source, do the following:
git clone git://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration.git
cd spring-integration
./gradlew build
NOTE: While Spring Integration runs with Java SE 6 or higher, a Java 8 compiler is required to build the project.
If you encounter out of memory errors during the build, increase available heap and permgen for Gradle:
GRADLE_OPTS='-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xmx1024m'
To build and install jars into your local Maven cache:
./gradlew install
To build api Javadoc (results will be in build/api):
./gradlew api
To build reference documentation (results will be in build/reference):
./gradlew reference
To build complete distribution including -dist, -docs, and -schema zip files (results will be in build/distributions)
./gradlew dist
Using Eclipse
To generate Eclipse metadata (.classpath and .project files), do the following:
./gradlew eclipse
Once complete, you may then import the projects into Eclipse as usual:
File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace
Browse to the 'spring-integration' root directory. All projects should import free of errors.
Using IntelliJ IDEA
To generate IDEA metadata (.iml and .ipr files), do the following:
./gradlew idea
