Thank you so much Jody for all your work rounding this up. I am +1 to delay the release and upgrade now to Spring 4.
Support for Java 8 for both users and developers is one of the major selling points for the 2.9 release. I think it is worthwhile to clear this technical debt so that we can deliver full support for Java 8. If we get this out the door in the next month or so, we could even consider it a 3.0 release, as we have big changes with both Wicket 7 and Java 8. Or would that be GeoTools 9.0 (dropping major version in the tradition of Solaris and GeoTools)? :-) Kind regards, Ben.
