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.
- Support external Javadoc links using Gradle's javadoc.options.links
- Fix all other Javadoc warnings, such as typos, references to
non-existent (or no longer existent) types and members, etc,
including changes related to the Quartz 2.0 upgrade (SPR-8275) and
adding the HTTP PATCH method (SPR-7985).
- Suppress all output for project-level `javadoc` tasks in order to
hide false-negative warnings about cross-module @see and @link
references (e.g. spring-core having a @see reference to spring-web).
Use the `--info` (-i) flag to gradle at any time to see project-level
javadoc warnings without running the entire `api` task. e.g.
`gradle :spring-core:javadoc -i`
- Favor root project level `api` task for detection of legitimate
Javadoc warnings. There are now zero Javadoc warnings across the
entirety of spring-framework. Goal: keep it that way.
- Remove all @link and @see references to types and members that exist
only in Servlet <= 2.5 and Hibernate <= 4.0, favoring 3.0+ and 4.0+
respectively. This is necessary because only one version of each of
these dependencies can be present on the global `api` javadoc task's
classpath. To that end, the `api` task classpath has now been
customized to ensure that the Servlet 3 API and Hibernate Core 4 jars
have precedence.
- SPR-8896 replaced our dependency on aspectjrt with a dependency on
aspectjweaver, which is fine from a POM point of view, but causes
a spurious warning to be emitted from the ant iajc task that it
"cannot find aspectjrt on the classpath" - even though aspectjweaver
is perfectly sufficient. In the name of keeping the console quiet, a
new `rt` configuration has been added, and aspectjrt added as a
dependency to it. In turn, configurations.rt.asPath is appended to
the iajc classpath during both compileJava and compileTestJava for
spring-aspects.

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.
