I went through all the Asciidoc files to correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and usage. Wherever possible, I also made it more clear and more concise. I also added links wherever they were reasonable. Accommodating changes that came while I was editing Various folks made changes (one of which I recommended) to the documents while I spent a month editing. I had to edit that new and changed content as well, so I need this second commit. Accommodating Artem's requested changes for `aggregator.adoc` Artem reviewed `aggregator.adoc` as a starting point, so that he could get some questions answered. I have made the changes he requested (and answered his questions on Github).
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
