Removed spring-beans.dtd (the 1.x variant) and spring-oxm-1.5.xsd (pre-Spring-Framework variant), in order to raise the backwards compatibility limit a little bit at least. We'll keep supporting the 2.0 and 2.5 xsd versions for the time being, as well as spring-beans-2.0.dtd.
Removed the ref 'local' attribute in spring-beans-4.0.xsd since 'local' lost its differentiating role to a regular bean ref back in the 3.1 days when we started allowing for the same bean id to reappear in a different beans section of the same configuration file (with a different profile).

Swap the following EBR-specific dependencies for their equivalents at
Maven Central:
- atinject-tck
- jaxb
- xmlbeans
Remove the /ebr-maven-external repository from the build script entirely
such that all dependencies are now resolved against a single repository:
http://repo.springsource.org/libs-release
Fix deprecation compiler warnings by refactoring code or applying
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") annotations. JUnit tests of
internally deprecated classes are now themselves marked as
@Deprecated.
Numerous EasyMock deprecation warnings will remain until the
migration to mockito can be completed.
"test" source and target compatibility has been upgraded to 1.7 except
where noted, allowing us to use 1.7 language features such as
diamond-style (<>) generics declarations, automatic resource management
and multi-catch. More importantly, we will be able to upgrade to 1.8
once it is available in order to make use of lambda expressions, etc in
our test cases.
IDE configurations must be relaxed to allow 1.7 across the board, as
neither Eclipse nor IDEA are clever enough to allow for different
language levels across production and test resources. See [1] for a
feature request on that front.
spring-oxm is a special case here, and has been pinned at 1.6
compatibility even for its test sources in order to avoid a class
verification error that JibX throws when encountering 1.7-level
bytecode [2].
Likewise with spring-orm, toplink encounters a similar class
verification error, so has been pinned to 1.6 for the time being.
When we remove the (already deprecated since 3.2) Toplink support
we can restore compatibility to 1.7.

Issue: SPR-10129
Fix serialization warnings by applying @SuppressWarnings("serial")
when appropriate.
In certain cases and for unknown reasons, a correctly-placed
@SuppressWarnings("serial") annotation will fix the warning at the
javac level (i.e. the Gradle command-line), but will produce an
"unnecessary @SuppressWarnings" warning within Eclipse. In these
cases, a private static final serialVersionUID field has been added
with the default value of 1L.
Prior to this commit, JibxMarshaller used a SAX ContentHandler to
marshal to StAX XMLEventWriters, which inadvertently resulted in the
deletion of XML comments.
After this commit, JibxMarshaller adapts the XMLEventWriter into an
XMLStreamWriter and comments are preserved.
Issue: SPR-9768
Before this commit, the Jaxb2Marshaller required all supported classes
to be annotated with @XmlRootElement. This commit adds a property
'checkForXmlRootElement' (default is true) which allows for un-annotated
classes.
This is especially useful for JAXB2 implementations that can use
external binding files, such as EclipseLink MOXy.
Issue: SPR-9757
XStreamMarshaller now supports writing to OutputStreams and reading from
InputStreams directly, as opposed to wrapping streams in a
OutputStreamWriter or InputStreamReader.
Issue: SPR-9663
Before this change JibxMarshallerTests would fail on Windows with an
error message explaining that JiBX compiler generated classes are not
found on the classpath for binding with name 'binding'. Tests would
execute well on Linux and OS X.
Actual root cause of this bug is found to be in JiBX 1.1.5 release that
is used to build Spring. The binding name can be explicitly specified in
JiBX binding file. If omitted, when generating classes the JiBX compiler
as fall-back mechanism tries to derive the binding name from the binding
file name. That logic had a bug which gets manifested when configured
binding file path has mixed Windows and *nix style file separators, as
in case of JibxMarshallerTests being executed on a Windows platform.
This commit resolves this issue by upgrading Spring's build from JiBX
1.1.5 to 1.2.3, as the bug mentioned was fixed in JiBX 1.2. See JIBX-441
for more details.
Issue: SPR-8360
Before this change there were numerous javadoc warnings being reported
while building Spring framework API.
This commit resolves most of the javadoc warnings, reducing the total
number from 265 to 103.
Issue: SPR-9113
- Fix deprecation warnings about dynamic properties; favor use of
"extra properties extensions" per [1]
- Certain such deprecations are still issued due to violations within
the docbook-reference plugin. These will be fixed in an upcoming
revision of the plugin, at which point spring-framework will upgrade
to depend on it and these warnings will be eliminated

Copy spring-*-3.1.xsd => spring-*-3.2.xsd; this commit introduces no
substantive changes, but rather prepares for them by creating a clean
baseline. All internal references to 3.1 schemas (e.g. spring-tool) have
also been updated.
Before this change JibxMarshaller did not use the configured encoding
when unmarshalling XML. This caused issues when content being
unmarshalled was not encoded using the default encoding.
This commit fixes the issue by passing configured encoding to JiBX so
it gets used when unmarshalling instead of the default encoding.
Issue: SPR-7865
JDK7 changed its reflections API in order to resolve
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5041784
In short, JDK 5 and 6 (wrongly) return GenericArrayTypes in certain
reflection scenarios, whereas JDK 7 changed this to return a normal
array type. For Jaxb2Marshaller, this meant that marshaling byte arrays
was not supported under JDK 7.
This change fixes that, so that Jaxb2Marhsaller supports marshalling
byte arrays again (under JDK 5, 6 or 7).
This renaming more intuitively expresses the relationship between
subprojects and the JAR artifacts they produce.
Tracking history across these renames is possible, but it requires
use of the --follow flag to `git log`, for example
$ git log spring-aop/src/main/java/org/springframework/aop/Advisor.java
will show history up until the renaming event, where
$ git log --follow spring-aop/src/main/java/org/springframework/aop/Advisor.java
will show history for all changes to the file, before and after the
renaming.
