AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor to correctly cache a collection with a single autowired bean as element * fixed AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor to not cache special dependencies such as request and in case of Spring jars deployed as shared libs * added "context:property-override" configuration element, as a sibling to "context:property-placeholder" Package org.springframework.core * introduced as suggested class name * added "depends-on" attribute to "lang:bsh/groovy/jruby" configuration element Package org.springframework.test * TestContextManager ignores default TestExecutionListeners that
