This change permanently removes links from the endpoints that return
arrays or collections, and also disables them in the rest of the
endpoints (except /actuator) by default.
Fixes gh-4616
Update the samples and integration tests to use Java 8. There's no
specific reason to keep them on Java 6 and it helps keep Eclipse happy
if we upgrade.
Given that Spring Boot uses java config accross the board, a new `value`
attribute is now aliased to the existing `classes` attribute such that
one could write the following:
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(MyConfig.class)
public class MyTest {}
Closes gh-3635
If spring-hateoas is on the classpath and an MvcEndpoint returns a
@ResponseBody it will be extended and wrapped into a Resource with links.
All the existing endpoints that return sensible JSON data can be extended
this way (i.e. not /logfile). The HAL browser will also be added as an
endpoint if available on the classpath. Finally, asciidocs for the
Actuator endpoints are available as a separate jar file, which if
included in an app will also generate a new (HTTP) endpoint.
Fixes gh-1390
