JIRA: https://jira.spring.io/browse/INT-4361 * To get a gain of the method chain code flow and avoid extra annotation parsing, add `.role(String)` hook to the `EndpointSpec` * Delegate the provided `role` property to the `AbstractEndpoint` * Register `AbstractEndpoint` as itself `SmartLifecycle` in the `SmartLifecycleRoleController` * Add `destroy()` to the `AbstractEndpoint` and remove it from the `SmartLifecycleRoleController` * Provide some Java 8 code style refactoring * Rework XML parsers and Annotation processors to populate `role` property on the `AbstractEndpoint` * Wrap `roleController` bean extraction to the `NoSuchBeanDefinitionException` catch * Fix several `AbstractEndpoint` implementation to properly call `super.onInit()` which has been missed before
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
