The upgrade to Hibernate 5.2.0.Final has provide to be too
problematic to live with. It requires Java 8, is incompatible with
a number of other projects in the Hibernate ecosystem, and it's
unclear for how long it will be maintained. We'd previously used
Hibernate 5.1.0.Final but its maintenance is also unclear with
Hibernate 5.1.1.Final being more than 3 months overdue.
This commit drops back to Hibernate 5.0.9.Final. This has a few
advantages:
- It's Java 7 compatible
- It's had some time to mature and should be reasonably free of
regressions for those moving from 4.3.x
- It's used in both Wildfly and JBoss EAP so there's a fair chance
that it will continue to be maintained.

This commit changes the default version of Tomcat to 8.5.3 while
also retaining support for Tomcat 8.0 and 7.0. The main difference
in 8.5 is that the ServerSocketFactory abstraction that allowed the
TrustStore and KeyStore to be configured programatically no longer
exists. This logic has been replaced with the use of a custom URL
protocol (springbootssl) that provides access to the key store and
trust store of an SslStoreProvider. In addition to working with 8.5,
this approach has the advantage of also working with 8.0 and 7.0.

This commit removes HSQLDB dependency from Batch Starter as most apps
that use Spring Batch will prefer to use a RDBMS of their choice to store
batch metadata.
Additionally, explicit spring-jdbc dependency has been replaced with JDBC
Starter dependency.

As of Spring Framework 4.3, spring-aop now embeds the classes from the
aopalliance:aopalliance jar. This means that the transitive dependency
on aopalliance:aopalliance is redundant and it can be excluded.

This commit upgrades to MongoDB 3. Dependency management has been added
for the new and preferred mongodb-driver artifact. The starter has
been updated to use this new artifact rather than monogo-java-driver.
Dependency management for mongo-java-driver has been retained to avoid
causing problems for people who have declared the dependency explicitly.
The auto-configuration for Embedded Mongo has also been updated to
use 3.2.2 by default.
Closes gh-3011
"Starter POM" is a confusing term as it implies the starter may be a
POM while it's actually a jar artifact like any other dependency. To
reduce the confusion (especially in the way such starter should be
declared in the build), the term Starter POM has been renamed to Starter.
Closes gh-5966
This commit deprecates the `ws` starter in favour of a new `web-services`
starter. A deprecation warning auto-configuration has also been added to
the ws starter.

This commit streamlines the Integration Starter by removing the file
http, ip, and stream modules as they are not always used by a majority
of apps that use Spring Integration and can also pull in other, unwanted
dependencies.
Additionally, a dependency on spring-integration-java-dsl has been
added. This makes it easy for users to configure Spring Integration
using Java configuration (the recommended approach), rather than via
XML. The Integration sample has been updated to use the DSL. Further
improvements could be made once the sample is using Java 8.
Closes gh-5528
Rename spring-boot-starter-webservices back to spring-boot-starter-ws.
Unfortunately the starter exists in Spring Boot 1.3 so we can't rename
it without consequence.
See gh-5711
In the web starter we shouldn't depend explicitly on any EL
implementation, otherwise when people build wars and deploy
them in containers that have their own EL there is a conflict.
We can still depend on hibernate-validator to support
JSR-303 in web apps because the EL implementation comes with
the container.
Fixes gh-5454
Previously, the documentation included hand-written tables for the
application, production, and technical starters.
This commit replaces the hand-written tables with tables that are
generated automatically from all of the starter poms, thereby ensuring
that the documentation is automatically kept up-to-date as starters
are added and removed. An extra column provided a link to each
starter's pom on GitHub has also been added to the table. This makes
it easier for users to see exactly what each starter contains.
