Chris Beams dfe05305e2 Upgrade to JUnit 4.11 snapshot in support of JDK7
Class#getDeclaredMembers returns arbitrary results under JDK7. This
results in non-deterministic execution of JUnit test methods, often
revealing unintended dependencies between methods that rely on a
specific order to succeed.

JUnit 4.11 contains support for predictable test ordering [1], but at
the time of this commit, JUnit 4.11 has not yet been released.
Therefore we are testing against a snapshot version [2], which has been
uploaded to repo.springsource.org [3] for easy access. Note that this
artifact may be removed when JUnit 4.11 goes GA.

 - Care has been taken to ensure that spring-test's compile-time
   dependency on JUnit remains at 4.10. This means that the spring-test
   pom.xml will continue to have an optional <dependency> on JUnit
   4.10, instead of the 4.11 snapshot.

 - For reasons not fully understood, the upgrade to the 4.11 snapshot
   of junit-dep caused NoSuchMethodErrors around certain Hamcrest
   types, particularly CoreMatchers and Matchers. import statements
   have been updated accordingly throughout affected test cases.

 - Runtime errors also occurred around uses of JUnit @Rule and
   ExpectedException. These have been reverted to use simpler
   mechanisms like @Test(expected) in the meantime.

 - Some test methods with order-based dependencies on one another have
   been renamed in order to fall in line with JUnit 4.11's new method
   ordering (as opposed to actually fixing the inter-test
   dependencies). In other areas, the fix was as simple as adding a
   tearDown method and cleaning up state.

 - For no apparent reason, the timeout in AspectJAutoProxyCreatorTests'
   testAspectsAndAdvisorNotAppliedToPrototypeIsFastEnough method begins
   to be exceeded. Prior to this commit the timeout value was 3000 ms;
   on the CI server under Linux/JDK6 and JDK7, the test begins taking
   anywhere from 3500-5500 ms with this commit. It is presumed that
   this is an incidental artifact of the upgrade to JUnit 4.11. In any
   case, there are no changes to src/main in this commit, so this
   should not actually represent a performance risk for Spring
   Framework users. The timeout has been increased to 6000 ms to
   accommodate this situation.
