This commit upgrades to Spring Framework 5.0.0.RC1. It also upgrades
the Spring Boot-based samples to use Spring Boot 2.0.0.M1 which
supports Spring Framework 5. Lastly, it upgrades a number of
third-party dependencies to align with Spring Framework 5 and Spring
Boot 2.
Closes gh-386
Previously, users that wanted to document a request field’s constraints
had to roll their own solution. This commit introduces a new API that
makes it easier to document constraints. Support is provided for
discovering Bean Validation constraints and resolving descriptions for
them. The constraint descriptions can then be used as required. For
example, they can included in a field’s description or in an additional
constraints attribute that’s included in an additional table column via
the use of a custom snippet template.
Closes gh-42
The main project supports Java 7 or later, but, prior to this commit,
the Spring HATEOAS sample required Java 8. This commit updates updates
the Spring HATEOAS sample to make it compatible with Java 7 and
updates the build configuration of both samples to specify Java 7.
Closes gh-51
This commit makes extensive changes to the structure of the code. It
introduces a number of separate packages to provide better separation
of the various areas of functionality. Alongside this change the project
has been renamed from spring-restdocs-core to spring-restdocs.
The build has been improved to provide support for building the samples
from the main build using the buildSamples task. While this change has
been made, the samples remain standalone projects so that their
configuration is not dependent on the main project’s build. Running
buildSamples will build the samples using both Maven and Gradle.
All of the main project’s classes now have javadoc and licence/copyright
headers.
