Update the samples and integration tests to use Java 8. There's no
specific reason to keep them on Java 6 and it helps keep Eclipse happy
if we upgrade.
If spring-hateoas is on the classpath and an MvcEndpoint returns a
@ResponseBody it will be extended and wrapped into a Resource with links.
All the existing endpoints that return sensible JSON data can be extended
this way (i.e. not /logfile). The HAL browser will also be added as an
endpoint if available on the classpath. Finally, asciidocs for the
Actuator endpoints are available as a separate jar file, which if
included in an app will also generate a new (HTTP) endpoint.
Fixes gh-1390
We now have a much simpler DataSourceAutoConfiguration that binds to whatever
DataSource concrete type it finds at runtime. To be able to quickly switch between
Hikari and the other types of DataSource there's a minute shim for translating
the common properties (username, password, url, driverClassName), but actually
only url is different. The shim and also DataSource initialization is supported
through DataSourceProperties, but the other native properties get bound directly
through the concrete runtime type of the DataSource.
The /configprops endpoint works (and is exposed in the actuator sample).
Fixes gh-840, fixes gh-477, see also gh-808.
Since Spring supports gobal error handling through
@ControllerAdvice, it is quite easy to set up more meta-data
about an exception for the BasicErrorController. You need
to be careful not to swallow Security exceptions, and probably
others (optionally) so this feature needs a bit more work.

Use org.springframework.boot instead of ${project.groupId}
groupId in order to make it easier to use spring-boot-samples
modules as a starting point for new projects.
