Tiles 3 has modified packages and classes as well as additional
dependencies, notably "tiles-request-api", which is a request/response
abstraction independent of Servlet and JSP APIs.
In order to have both Tiles 2 and Tiles 3 integrations, the source for
the Tiles 3 integration is in a separate project spring-webmvc-tiles3.
The build process merges the compiled Tiles 3 integration classes into
the spring-webmvc module so in effect it contains both the Tiles 2 and
the Tiles 3 integrations.
This change originated as a pull request at spring-framework-issues:
https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-framework-issues/pull/30

Issue: SPR-8825
This commit adds the spring-test-mvc project [1] to the Spring
Framework as part of the spring-test module.
The sources are added as a root-level project called "spring-test-mvc"
instead of under "spring-test" because the new sources need to be
compiled with Servlet 3 while the current "spring-test" sources require
Servlet 2.5 and the Eclipse IDE does not support having different
classpaths for the same project.
The Gradle build produces a single spring-test jar that contains
sources from both "spring-test" and "spring-test-mvc". This merge is
made possible through merge-dist.gradle as follows:
- jar tasks of the "from" project execute tasks of the "to" project
- "to" project is added to the classpath of the "from" project
- "to" project pom is updated with entries from the "from" project
For further details see documentation in merge-dist.gradle.

Issue: SPR-9859, SPR-7951
ASM 4.0 is generally compatibile with Java 7 classfiles, particularly
including 'invokedynamic' instructions. This is important when
considering that Spring's component-scanning support is internally
ASM-based and it is increasingly likely that component classes having
invokedynamic instructions may be encountered and read by ASM.
This upgrade, then, is primarily preventive in nature.
Changes include:
- upgrade from ASM 2.2.3 to ASM 4.0
- adapt to ASM API changes as necessary throughout spring-core,
resulting in no impact to the public Spring API.
- remove dedicated spring-asm module
- use new :spring-core:asmRepackJar task to repackage
org.objectweb.asm => org.springframework.asm as per usual and write
repackaged classes directly into spring-core jar
The choice to eliminate the spring-asm module altogether and instead
inline the repackaged classes directly into spring-core is first to
eliminate an otherwise unnecessary second jar. spring-core has a
non-optional dependency on spring-asm meaning it is always on the
application classpath. This change simplifies that situation by
consoliding two jars into one. The second reason for this choice is in
anticipation of upgrading CGLIB to version 3 and inlining it into
spring-core as well. See subsequent commit for details.

This renaming more intuitively expresses the relationship between
subprojects and the JAR artifacts they produce.
Tracking history across these renames is possible, but it requires
use of the --follow flag to `git log`, for example
$ git log spring-aop/src/main/java/org/springframework/aop/Advisor.java
will show history up until the renaming event, where
$ git log --follow spring-aop/src/main/java/org/springframework/aop/Advisor.java
will show history for all changes to the file, before and after the
renaming.

This commit eliminates the 'integration-tests' subproject in favor of
managing these sources under the root project's own 'src' directory.
This helps to avoid special-case handling for integration-tests in the
Gradle build, e.g. avoiding publication of jars to Artifactory /
Maven Central.
It is also semantically more correct. This is not a Spring Framework
subproject so much as it is a collection of integration tests that
span functionality across many subprojects. In this way, it makes
sense to place them directly under the root project.
