Documented verify() to throw a MappingException in case verification fails. Let this exception flying cause the PersistentEntity already added to the cache be removed from it in turn.
Fixed execution of integration tests and tests in classes starting with Abstract* along the way. Upgraded to Mockito 1.8.5.
We now use an exclusive upper bound of 4.0.0.RELEASE for Spring dependencies. With the snapshot repository removed we now get the latest release milestone to build on. Changed repository links to use http://repo.springframework.org to route dependencies through our Artifactory instance. Fixed some plugin dependency versions along the way.
Introduced version range for Spring dependency of [3.0.6.RELEASE, 3.1.0.RC1]. This causes Maven to scan the metadata in the configured repositories to find the latest version up to Spring 3.1.0.RC1. For users having the Spring Milestone repo configured this will resolve against 3.1.0.RC1 then. All others will get the latest one from Maven Central which is 3.0.6. To let Bundlor still use 3.0.6 I've created a org.springframework.version.30 property and let template.mf use that.
Upgraded to Hamcrest 1.2.1. Removed obsolete Log4J transitive dependency exclusions as 1.2.16 does not include these dependencies anymore. Using Mockito and JUnit dependencies not containing Hamcrest types.
Added DomainClassPropertyEditor and DomainClassConverter to automatically bind domain classes to Spring MVC controller methods. Same applies to PageableArgumentResolver. Polished up some generics.
Introduced RepositoryFactoryInformation interface being implemented by RepositoryFactorySupport that allows the extension components to get access to the raw factories, access EntityInformation of it and then find out about the repository interface to lookup the actual repository instance.
Added Milestone repository to aspects module to find AspectJ 1.6.11.M2. Reduced logging dependencies to test scope, altered two classes to use SLF4J instead of Commons logging. Use Log4J 1.2.16 as this does not require explicit excludes for mail, JMS and JMX anymore.
