[Springframework-developer] JDK 1.5 annotations for Spring 1.2

[Juergen H. <ju...@in...>]

Everybody,

I've just migrated Colin's and Rob's JDK 1.5 support over to the main
sources: both the transaction annotations and the JMX annotations, in
slightly reworked versions. I consider them ready for 1.2 RC1 now.

The build script has changed accordingly. When running Ant on JDK 1.5,
Spring will be built including the JDK 1.5 support (with everything else
still runnable on JDK 1.3+); when running Ant on JDK 1.4, Spring will simply
be built without the JDK 1.5 support. Test suite building and execution will
adapt automatically too.

I've also adapted JPetStore accordingly and introduced an annotation-based
version with minimal differences. The new "annotation" subdirectory contains
configuration and a PetStoreLogic implementation that uses our JDK 1.5+
Transactional annotation now, analogous to the existing "attributes"
directory which provides similar functionality based on Commons Attributes.

Feel free to give this stuff a try from CVS or nightly snapshots :-)
