We now discover Kotlin constructors and apply parameter defaulting to allow construction of immutable value objects. Constructor discovery uses primary constructors by default and considers PersistenceConstructor annotations.
KotlinClassGeneratingEntityInstantiator can instantiate Kotlin classes with default parameters by resolving the synthetic constructor. Null values translate to parameter defaults.
class Person(val firstname: String = "Walter") {
}
class Address(val street: String, val city: String) {
@PersistenceConstructor
constructor(street: String = "Unknown", city: String = "Unknown", country: String) : this(street, city)
}

XmlBeam 1.4.11 accidentally removed ProjectionFactory as public interface. Adapted our HttpMessageConverter implementation to make sure we still work on those versions.

Marked all packages with Spring Frameworks @NonNullApi. Added Spring's @Nullable to methods, parameters and fields that take or produce null values. Adapted using code to make sure the IDE can evaluate the null flow properly. Fixed Javadoc in places where an invalid null handling policy was advertised. Strengthened null requirements for types that expose null-instances.
Removed null handling from converters for JodaTime and ThreeTenBP. Introduced factory methods Page.empty() and Page.empty(Pageable). Introduced default methods getRequiredGetter(), …Setter() and …Field() on PersistentProperty to allow non-nullable lookups of members. The same for TypeInformation.getrequiredActualType(), …SuperTypeInformation().
Tweaked PersistentPropertyCreator.addPropertiesForRemainingDescriptors() to filter unsuitable PropertyDescriptors before actually trying to create a Property instance from them as the new stronger nullability requirements would cause exceptions downstream.
Lazy.get() now expects a non-null return value. Clients being able to cope with null need to call ….orElse(…).
