This commit:
* adds a reference to the Spring Code Style wiki page in the main
CONTRIBUTING document
* updates the link to the Spring team in README
* adds a note regarding Intellij IDEA 13 issues
Re-order subsections to make it clear that running a full
`./gradlew build` is not necessary just to import projects
into your IDE or to build and install jars to your .m2 cache.
The exact text above the "Staying in touch" section caused "Staying in
touch" to lose it's formatting as a second-level heading. Adding
" for details" to the sentence above works around the problem.
The readme is heavy on links and hard to read in source form when using
typical inline Markdown links. The following changes have been made to
increase readability.
- Wrap lines at 80 characters
- Use 'implicit link name' shortcut syntax as described at [1]
- Add link to 'spring-mvc' Stack Overflow tag as well
- Add link to new 'lifecycle of an issue' wiki doc

Some Spring Framework users and teams cannot use transitive dependency
management tools like Maven, Gradle and Ivy. For them, a `distZip` task
has been added to allow for creating a Spring Framework distribution
from source that includes all optional and required runtime
dependencies for all modules of the framework.
This 'dist-with-deps' zip is not published to the SpringSource
repository nor to the SpringSource community download page. It is
strictly an optional task introduced as a convenience to the users
mentioned above.
Detailed instructions for building this zip locally have been added to
the wiki and the README has been updated with a link to that new doc.
Issue: SPR-6575
- Update building from source section with Gradle instructions
- Add import-into-eclipse.sh interactive helper script
- Add import-into-idea.md with steps and known issues
Note that use of STS Gradle tooling was attempted, but several issues
remain before it can handle the spring-framework build. In the meantime
the instructions laid out in import-into-eclipse provide an error-free
import.
