Refactor the existing merge-artifacts script to a full Gradle plugin.
The new plugin uses a 'merge' extension in favor of Gradle 'ext'
configuration and can be applied to all projects in a multi-module
build.
Any project that defines a 'merge.into' project will now implicitly
receive a dependency to that project. Furthermore other projects
with a dependency on 'merge.into' will receive a direct project
link within the IDE. For example: 'spring-webmvc-tiles3'
is merged into 'spring-webmvc' and 'spring-test-mvc' depends
on 'spring-webmvc'. Within the IDE 'spring-test-mvc' will show
dependencies to both 'spring-webmvc' and 'spring-webmvc-tiles'.
Issue: SPR-10042
Replace existing 'optional' and 'provided' Spring specific build
extensions with a new Gradle propdeps-plugin. Optional and Provided
dependencies are now defined use dependency configurations.
The new plugin does not currently support the notion of optional
runtime dependencies. All optional dependencies are implicitly
part of the 'compile' scope. This is an intentional design decision
that aims to keep both the plugin and the build simple. Since optional
dependencies are non-transitive this restriction should not cause
any real problems for existing users. The only existing dependency
affected is 'commons-io' in the 'spring-beans' project, however, this
was an optional compile scope dependency in the previous Spring 3.1
release.
Both provided and optional dependencies are no longer exported from
generated eclipse .classpath files. This fixes several tests that
would previously fail when running within eclipse. The servlet-api
specific elements of ide.gradle are also no longer required.
Issue: SPR-9656, SPR-10070
Upgrade to the latest stable release of log4j. The previous 'jms'
and 'jmx' exclusions are not longer required since these have now
been marked as optional dependencies in the upstream POM.
Update all Gradle files to use a consistent style when specifying
dependencies. All dependencies are now specified using parentheses,
for example:
scope("group:artifat:version")
or scope(project(":projectname"))
tiles-core-3 brings in a dependency on jcl-overl-slf4 which causes
an slf4j delegation loop as explained at [1] when tests run inside
Eclipse. Other modules that depend on tiles-core like
(tiles-servlet, tiles-jsp) have also had the exclusion added since
they seem to bring it in as well.

Prevously the FrameworkServlet created a new ServletRequestAttributes
instance for every request, unless the RequestContextHolder already
contained an instance whose type is not ServletRequestAttributes.
The main intent was that if RequestContextHolder contains a
PortletRequestAttributes, it should be left in place.
This change does an "instanceof" check against the request in
RequestContextHolder instead of an "equals" check on the type.
It still leaves PortletRequestAttributes in place but also allows
the previous request to be any sub-class of ServletRequestAttributes.
Issue: SPR-10025
This commit upgrades the compile dependency on JUnit in the spring-test
module as well as the global test dependency on JUnit for the entire
test suite to 4.11 GA.
In addition, the spring-test module now depends on junit:junit instead
of junit:junit-dep since, as of JUnit 4.11, the "junit" Maven artifact
no longer inlines hamcrest-core.
Issue: SPR-10044
Replace the gradle dependency on aspectjrt with aspectjweaver since
aspectjrt is a subset of aspectjweaver and the full jar is required
by Spring. SPR-8896 fixed the original code issue, this change
just relates to the generated maven pom.
Issue: SPR-10072
Upgrade to docbook-reference-plugin v0.2.2 and remove custom xsl
styles in favor of plugin defaults. Modify some docbook source
files to work with newer style.
- Defined global slf4jVersion as '1.6.1' in the Gradle build.
- Replaced dependencies on slf4j-log4j12 with slf4j-jcl where possible;
however, spring-test-mvc still depends on jcl-over-slf4j and
slf4j-log4j12 (see SPR-10070).
- Reenabled HibernateSessionFlushingTests.
- Verified that the following tests pass in the Gradle build and within
Eclipse:
- HibernateSessionFlushingTests
- HibernateTransactionManagerTests (Hibernate 3)
- HibernateTransactionManagerTests (Hibernate 4)
- RequestResponseBodyMethodProcessorTests
Issue: SPR-9421, SPR-10066
The previous commit by Juergen Hoeller upgraded spring-orm's Hibernate 3
dependency to 3.3.2.GA, and this commit removes the now unnecessary
dependency on org.hibernate:hibernate-cglib-repack:2.1_3.
Issue: SPR-10066
This commit ensures that EasyMock version 2.5.2 is used consistently
across the test suite. This applies to both the easymock and
easymockclassextension artifacts. Using the same version for both of
these artifacts helps to better align us for a future upgrade to
EasyMock 3.0 since the Class Extension artifact is deprecated in 3.x
releases of the library.
Issue: SPR-10069
The tiles-request-servlet-wildcard contained only one class that is an
implementation of the tiles-request ServletApplicationContext using a
Spring ApplicationContext to look up resources. It makes sense for this
class to be part of the Spring Tiles 3 integration.
Issue: SPR-10054
Previously when running the tests for spring-web, spring-webmvc,
spring-test-mvc, and spring-orm there were possible collissions in the
classpath due to the fact that each had its own copy of the web.Mock*
classes in it. This causes uncertainty for which class the code was
running against. Furthermore, the maintance of keeping the copies up to
date was tedious.
Now there are two copies of the web.Mock* classes. The ones that exist
in spring-test main sources and a copy that supports servlet 3 within
spring-web test sources. The copy in spring-web test sources has been
moved to a new package to avoid having the classes exist twice on the
classpath within Eclipse.
Previously the workaround for GRADLE-1116 only worked for the
merge-dist.gradle projects
Now the workaround is more generic and fixes errors that have since
been introduced when performing a fresh import into Eclipse.
Previously reflection was required when interacting with Hibernate 4 in
order to support both Hibernate 3 and Hibernate 4 since there were
non-passive changes in the APIs. Now that the Spring build uses Gradle
it is trivial to support multiple Hibernate versions.
This commit removes the reflection usage in orm.hibernate4.* by
creating a spring-orm-hibernate4 module that uses
gradle/merge-artifacts.gradle to build a single artifact but keep
distinct classpaths.
Issue: SPR-10039
This change upgrade the framework to consume the newly-published
docbook-reference-plugin version 0.2.1 containing a maximum width
for the HTML reference guide.
This change upgrade the framework to consume the newly-published
docbook-reference-plugin version 0.2.0, which includes among other
improvements a revamped CSS approach designed to look as similar
as possible to the way markdown files are rendered by GitHub.

In the course of this enhancement, the "cache.ehcache" and "cache.jcache" packages moved from spring-context to the spring-context-support module, expecting further transaction-related functionality. Also aligns with the presence of Spring's Quartz support in the spring-context-support module, since Quartz and EHCache are sort of sister projects at Terracotta now.
Issue: SPR-9966
The new jdiff task generates a report of API differences between the
current version (i.e. the value of `version` in gradle.properties) and
any older version of the framework, as specified by -DOLD_VERSION at
the command line, or defaulting to `previousVersion` in
gradle.properties.
Running the command requires a separate clone directory pinned to the
desired old version, as specified by -DOLD_VERSION_ROOT at the command
line. This creates challenges from a build automation perspective,
largely because Gradle doesn't (yet) have APIs for working with Git.
This task may be further automated and included in nightly CI runs, but
in the meantime, a number of reports back to 3.1.3.RELEASE have been
generated manually and uploaded to [1], where one can now find the
following entries in the directory listing:
- 3.1.3.RELEASE_to_3.2.0.RC1
- 3.2.0.M1_to_3.2.0.M2
- 3.2.0.M2_to_3.2.0.RC1
- 3.2.0.RC1_to_3.2.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
Ideally, the final entry there would be kept up-to-date on a daily
basis - again we may revisit doing so in the future. Going forward,
reports will be generated and uploaded manually on an as needed basis
and as part of the release process.
The goal of these reports are as follows:
- to ease the process of ensuring backward compatibility
- to aid in code reviews, particularly when reviewing large pull
requests
- to ease the process of creating migration guides for project
maintainers, i.e. to help us remember what's changed
- to allow ambitious end-users to discover what's been changing at the
API level without without needing to wait for detailed "what's new in
version X" and/or migration guide documentation
See documentation in jdiff.gradle for usage details.
Note that the jdiff-1.1.1 distribution as downloaded from [2] has been
added wholesale to the source tree under gradle/jdiff instead of
uploading JDiff jars to repo.springsource.org as we would normally do.
This is due to some unfortunate limitations in the implementation of the
jdiff ant task that require a phisical JDIFF_HOME directory. Checking in
the jars and various resources represents the simplest and most
pragmatic solution to this problem, though ambitious contributors are
free to do what's necessary to arrive at a more elegant arrangement.

Issue: SPR-9957
Tiles 3 has modified packages and classes as well as additional
dependencies, notably "tiles-request-api", which is a request/response
abstraction independent of Servlet and JSP APIs.
In order to have both Tiles 2 and Tiles 3 integrations, the source for
the Tiles 3 integration is in a separate project spring-webmvc-tiles3.
The build process merges the compiled Tiles 3 integration classes into
the spring-webmvc module so in effect it contains both the Tiles 2 and
the Tiles 3 integrations.
This change originated as a pull request at spring-framework-issues:
https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-framework-issues/pull/30
And was additionally updated:

The change removes the use of concrete Matcher implementations and thus
the dependency on hamcrest-lib leaving hamcrest-core as the only
(optional) hamcrest dependency.
Issue: SPR-9961
Prior to this change, zip archives were named
spring-${version}-${classifier}.zip
e.g.:
- spring-3.2.0.RC1-dist.zip
- spring-3.2.0.RC1-docs.zip
- spring-3.2.0.RC1-schema.zip
This commit updates the Gradle build script to ensure that the fully-
qualified 'spring-framework' name is used consistently, such that names
follow the pattern
spring-framework-${version}-${classifier}.zip
This includes the naming of the root-level directory within the -dist
zip.
Issue: SPR-9954
JRuby includes a copy of joda classes with the same package names.
This commit changes the order of the loaded jars to load the original
joda classes first.
1) removed the hamcrest-all dependency requirement and replaced it with
the more focused hamcrest-library dependency
2) added MatcherAssertionErrors as a replacement of
org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert, which in hamcrest 1.1 is only available
through the hamcrest-all dependency (and not in hamcrest-core nor in
the hamcrest embedded in JUnit 4.4 through 4.8)
3) changed the required hamcrest version from 1.1 to 1.3 and made sure
the spring-test-mvc project does not rely on newer hamcrest
functionality without checking if it is available first
Applications that already depend on older versions of hamcrest
(in particular 1.1) via hamcrest-library, hamcrest-all or as part of
junit 4.4 through 4.8 should not be disrupted if they add spring-test
but may wish to exclude the hamcrest-library transitive dependency
from spring-test in order to avoid extra jars in the classpath
Applications that depend on hamcrest 1.3 should not have to do anything
Issue: SPR-9940
This setting was causing failures in the CI build, and was not present
prior to the recent updates to gradle wrapper generation.
This commit also simplifies the gradle wrapper customizations by placing
the logic in a doLast block within the original 'wrapper' task, as
to creating a second wrapper task and extending from the first.
- Upgrade to 0.1.6 snapshot of docbook plugin
- Fully qualify PDF artifact name as 'spring-framework-reference.pdf'
instead of former 'spring-reference.pdf'
Issue: SPR-9598
This commit adds the spring-test-mvc project [1] to the Spring
Framework as part of the spring-test module.
The sources are added as a root-level project called "spring-test-mvc"
instead of under "spring-test" because the new sources need to be
compiled with Servlet 3 while the current "spring-test" sources require
Servlet 2.5 and the Eclipse IDE does not support having different
classpaths for the same project.
The Gradle build produces a single spring-test jar that contains
sources from both "spring-test" and "spring-test-mvc". This merge is
made possible through merge-dist.gradle as follows:
- jar tasks of the "from" project execute tasks of the "to" project
- "to" project is added to the classpath of the "from" project
- "to" project pom is updated with entries from the "from" project
For further details see documentation in merge-dist.gradle.
