 This plugin does not provide a `provided` configuration, as the native `compileOnly` and `testCompileOnly`
 configurations are preferred.

+### API Diff
+
+This plugin uses the [Gradle JApiCmp](https://github.com/melix/japicmp-gradle-plugin) plugin
+to generate API Diff reports for each Spring Framework module. This plugin is applied once on the root
+project and creates tasks in each framework module. Unlike previous versions of this part of the build,
+there is no need for checking out a specific tag. The plugin will fetch the JARs we want to compare the
+current working version with. You can generate the reports for all modules or a single module:
+
+```
+./gradlew apiDiff -PbaselineVersion=5.1.0.RELEASE
+./gradlew :spring-core:apiDiff -PbaselineVersion=5.1.0.RELEASE
+```      
+
+The reports are located under `build/reports/api-diff/$OLDVERSION_to_$NEWVERSION/`.

+== Spring Framework Concourse pipeline
+
+The Spring Framework uses https://concourse-ci.org/[Concourse] for its CI build and other automated tasks.
+The Spring team has a dedicated Concourse instance available at https://ci.spring.io with a build pipeline
+for https://ci.spring.io/teams/spring-framework/pipelines/spring-framework-6.0.x[Spring Framework 6.0.x].
+
+=== Setting up your development environment
+
+If you're part of the Spring Framework project on GitHub, you can get access to CI management features.
+First, you need to go to https://ci.spring.io and install the client CLI for your platform (see bottom right of the screen).
+
+You can then login with the instance using:
+
+[source]
+----
+$ fly -t spring login -n spring-framework -c https://ci.spring.io
+----
+
+Once logged in, you should get something like:
+
+[source]
+----
+$ fly ts
+name                  url                   team                  expiry
+spring                https://ci.spring.io  spring-framework      Wed, 25 Mar 2020 17:45:26 UTC
+----
+
+=== Pipeline configuration and structure
+
+The build pipelines are described in `pipeline.yml` file.
+
+This file is listing Concourse resources, i.e. build inputs and outputs such as container images, artifact repositories, source repositories, notification services, etc.
+
+It also describes jobs (a job is a sequence of inputs, tasks and outputs); jobs are organized by groups.
+
+The `pipeline.yml` definition contains `((parameters))` which are loaded from the `parameters.yml` file or from our https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/credhub/[credhub instance].
+
+You'll find in this folder the following resources:
+
+* `pipeline.yml` the build pipeline
+* `parameters.yml` the build parameters used for the pipeline
+* `images/` holds the container images definitions used in this pipeline
+* `scripts/` holds the build scripts that ship within the CI container images
+* `tasks` contains the task definitions used in the main `pipeline.yml`
+
+=== Updating the build pipeline
+
+Updating files on the repository is not enough to update the build pipeline, as changes need to be applied.
+
+The pipeline can be deployed using the following command:
+
+[source]
+----
+$ fly -t spring set-pipeline -p spring-framework-6.0.x -c ci/pipeline.yml -l ci/parameters.yml
+----
+
+NOTE: This assumes that you have credhub integration configured with the appropriate secrets.

-[[aot.bestpractices.bean-registration]]
-=== Programmatic Bean Registration
-
-The AOT engine takes care of the `@Configuration` model and any callback that might be
-invoked as part of processing your configuration. If you need to register additional
-beans programmatically, make sure to use a `BeanDefinitionRegistry` to register
-bean definitions.
-
-This can typically be done via a `BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor`. Note that, if it
-is registered itself as a bean, it will be invoked again at runtime unless you make
-sure to implement `BeanFactoryInitializationAotProcessor` as well. A more idiomatic
-way is to implement `ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar` and register it using `@Import` on
-one of your configuration classes. This invokes your custom code as part of configuration
-class parsing.
-
-If you declare additional beans programmatically using a different callback, they are
-likely not going to be handled by the AOT engine, and therefore no hints are going to be
-generated for them. Depending on the environment, those beans may not be registered at
-all. For instance, classpath scanning does not work in a native image as there is no

 If you are registering bean definitions programmatically, consider using `RootBeanBefinition` as it allows to specify a `ResolvableType` that handles generics.

-[[aot.bestpractices.constructors]]
-=== Avoid Multiple Constructors
-
-The container is able to choose the most appropriate constructor to use based on several candidates.
-However, this is not a best practice and flagging the preferred constructor with `@Autowired` if necessary is preferred.
-
-In case you are working on a code base that you cannot modify, you can set the {spring-framework-api}/beans/factory/support/AbstractBeanDefinition.html#PREFERRED_CONSTRUCTORS_ATTRIBUTE[`preferredConstructors` attribute] on the related bean definition to indicate which constructor should be used.
-
-[[aot.bestpractices.complex-data-structures]]
-=== Avoid Complex Data Structures for Constructor Parameters and Properties
-
-When crafting a `RootBeanDefinition` programmatically, you are not constrained in terms of types that you can use.
-For instance, you may have a custom `record` with several properties that your bean takes as a constructor argument.
-
-While this works fine with the regular runtime, AOT does not know how to generate the code of your custom data structure.
-A good rule of thumb is to keep in mind that bean definitions are an abstraction on top of several models.
-Rather than using such structures, decomposing to simple types or referring to a bean that is built as such is recommended.
-
-As a last resort, you can implement your own `org.springframework.aot.generate.ValueCodeGenerator$Delegate`.
-To use it, register its fully qualified name in `META-INF/spring/aot.factories` using the `Delegate` as the key.
-
-[[aot.bestpractices.custom-arguments]]
-=== Avoid Creating Beans with Custom Arguments
-
-Spring AOT detects what needs to be done to create a bean and translates that in generated code using an instance supplier.
-The container also supports creating a bean with {spring-framework-api}++/beans/factory/BeanFactory.html#getBean(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object...)++[custom arguments] that leads to several issues with AOT:
-
-. The custom arguments require dynamic introspection of a matching constructor or factory method.
-Those arguments cannot be detected by AOT, so the necessary reflection hints will have to be provided manually.
-. By-passing the instance supplier means that all other optimizations after creation are skipped as well.
-For instance, autowiring on fields and methods will be skipped as they are handled in the instance supplier.
-
-Rather than having prototype-scoped beans created with custom arguments, we recommend a manual factory pattern where a bean is responsible for the creation of the instance.
-
-[[aot.bestpractices.circular-dependencies]]
-=== Avoid Circular Dependencies
-
-Certain use cases can result in circular dependencies between one or more beans. With the
-regular runtime, it may be possible to wire those circular dependencies via `@Autowired`
-on setter methods or fields. However, an AOT-optimized context will fail to start with
-explicit circular dependencies.
-
-In an AOT-optimized application, you should therefore strive to avoid circular
-dependencies. If that is not possible, you can use `@Lazy` injection points or
-`ObjectProvider` to lazily access or retrieve the necessary collaborating beans. See
-xref:core/beans/classpath-scanning.adoc#beans-factorybeans-annotations-lazy-injection-points[this tip]

 = Annotation-based Container Configuration

-Spring provides comprehensive support for annotation-based configuration, operating on

+.Are annotations better than XML for configuring Spring?
+****
+The introduction of annotation-based configuration raised the question of whether this
+approach is "`better`" than XML. The short answer is "`it depends.`" The long answer is
+that each approach has its pros and cons, and, usually, it is up to the developer to
+decide which strategy suits them better. Due to the way they are defined, annotations
+provide a lot of context in their declaration, leading to shorter and more concise
+configuration. However, XML excels at wiring up components without touching their source
+code or recompiling them. Some developers prefer having the wiring close to the source
+while others argue that annotated classes are no longer POJOs and, furthermore, that the
+configuration becomes decentralized and harder to control.

-For example, the xref:core/beans/annotation-config/autowired.adoc[`@Autowired`]
-annotation provides the same capabilities as described in

+No matter the choice, Spring can accommodate both styles and even mix them together.
+It is worth pointing out that through its xref:core/beans/java.adoc[JavaConfig] option, Spring lets

+source code and that, in terms of tooling, all configuration styles are supported by
+https://spring.io/tools[Spring Tools] for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Theia.
+****
+
+An alternative to XML setup is provided by annotation-based configuration, which relies
+on bytecode metadata for wiring up components instead of XML declarations. Instead of
+using XML to describe a bean wiring, the developer moves the configuration into the
+component class itself by using annotations on the relevant class, method, or field
+declaration. As mentioned in xref:core/beans/factory-extension.adoc#beans-factory-extension-bpp-examples-aabpp[Example: The `AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor`], using a
