Sam Brannen 5689395678 Deprecate "enclosing classes" search strategy for MergedAnnotations The TYPE_HIERARCHY_AND_ENCLOSING_CLASSES search strategy for MergedAnnotations was originally introduced to support @Nested test classes in JUnit Jupiter (see #23378). However, while implementing #19930, we determined that the TYPE_HIERARCHY_AND_ENCLOSING_CLASSES search strategy unfortunately could not be used since it does not allow the user to control when to recurse up the enclosing class hierarchy. For example, this search strategy will automatically search on enclosing classes for static nested classes as well as for inner classes, when the user probably only wants one such category of "enclosing class" to be searched. Consequently, TestContextAnnotationUtils was introduced in the Spring TestContext Framework to address the shortcomings of the TYPE_HIERARCHY_AND_ENCLOSING_CLASSES search strategy. Since this search strategy is unlikely to be useful to general users, the team has decided to deprecate this search strategy in Spring Framework 5.3.x and remove it in 6.0.

Sam Brannen 5689395678 Deprecate "enclosing classes" search strategy for MergedAnnotations

The TYPE_HIERARCHY_AND_ENCLOSING_CLASSES search strategy for
MergedAnnotations was originally introduced to support @Nested test
classes in JUnit Jupiter (see #23378).

However, while implementing #19930, we determined that the
TYPE_HIERARCHY_AND_ENCLOSING_CLASSES search strategy unfortunately
could not be used since it does not allow the user to control when to
recurse up the enclosing class hierarchy. For example, this search
strategy will automatically search on enclosing classes for static
nested classes as well as for inner classes, when the user probably
only wants one such category of "enclosing class" to be searched.
Consequently, TestContextAnnotationUtils was introduced in the Spring
TestContext Framework to address the shortcomings of the
TYPE_HIERARCHY_AND_ENCLOSING_CLASSES search strategy.

Since this search strategy is unlikely to be useful to general users,
the team has decided to deprecate this search strategy in Spring
Framework 5.3.x and remove it in 6.0.
