In order to determine why Ehcache classloading errors occur after

From earlier dependence on 4.0.0.CR4.
Spring 3.1.x will upgrade to Hibernate 4.0.0.Final as soon as possible
after its release.
Pom files have also been updated to 'recommend' use of Hibernate
3.6.0.Final or better (earlier value was 3.3.1.GA).
aspectjrt is a subset of aspectjweaver. Eliminate mentions of aspectjrt
where aspectjweaver is already necessary (e.g. LTW), and do not mention
aspectjweaver where only aspectrt is required (e.g. @Aspect proxying)
Also bump required version of aspect* libs from 1.5 to 1.6.8, reflecting
OSGi and pom metadata.

Prior to this change, to specify two or more annotation include/exclude
filters, one would declare @ComponentScan as follows:
@ComponentScan(basePackages="example.scannable",
useDefaultFilters=false,
includeFilters={
@Filter(MyStereotype.class),
@Filter(MyComponent.class)
})
This was because @Filter's 'value' attribute accepted exactly one
argument.
Now, any given @Filter may accept one or more value arguments, allowing
for more concise @ComponentScan declarations:
@ComponentScan(basePackages="example.scannable",
useDefaultFilters=false,
includeFilters=@Filter({MyStereotype.class, MyComponent.class}))
Supplying multiple arguments in this way assumes that they are the same
type of filter, e.g. ANNOTATION, ASSIGNABLE_TYPE, or CUSTOM. To declare
multiple *different* types of filters, multiple @Filter annotations are
still required, e.g.:
@ComponentScan(
includeFilters={
@Filter(type=ANNOTATION, value=MyStereotype.class),
@Filter(type=ASSIGNABLE_TYPE, value={Foo.class, Bar.class})
})
Note that specifying zero arguments, e.g. @Filter({}) is nonsensical; it
will have no effect on component scanning, but does not raise an error.
Issue: SPR-8881
For clarity, add @Target({}) to definition of @Filter, constraining it
to complex annotation composition only; i.e. it cannot be placed on
any element, only within annotations, e.g.
@ComponentScan(includeFilters=@Filter(...))
is legal, while
@Filter
public class MyType { }
is not.
Also, widen @Retention from SOURCE to RUNTIME, even though it is not
technically necessary, as all parsing of @Filter annotations happens via
ASM, i.e. at the source level. This change is made primarily for
consistency (@ComponentScan's Retention is RUNTIME) and in avoidance of
potential confusion or surprise on the part of those casually browsing
the code.
