Upgrade to Spring Integration 5.0.0.RC1

[wilkinsona]

@garyrussell @artembilan What are your plans for a 5.0 M1 release? I see it in Jira but there's no release date set. I'd like to get Boot 2.0 snapshots building against SI 5.0 snapshots but that would require an SI M1 before Boot's 2.0 M1 which is currently scheduled for January 2017.

@wilkinsona , thank you for the pointer!

Well, we are not going to release 5.0 M1 until we don't come up with some Reactive Story.
But, eh..., I hope to have it definitely before January 2017...

Just a couple notes for SI-5.0.
The Java DSL will be included to the core. So, during Boot upgrade we shouldn't forget to remove that dependency.
Another thought is to absorb SI Kafka to core as well. So, we will may need some IO Platform compatibility there.
Although we have already started Spring Kafka story for Spring Boot: #6961 .

Let me know if I am missing something else.

@wilkinsona , if that helps somehow, we have merged a core part of Java DSL to SI-5.0. So, maybe its time to upgrade Boot-2.0 and remove Java DSL 1.2 dependency?
I guess there is no tests in Boot for SI Java DSL, so everything should be green 😄

Thanks, @artembilan. We actually do have some SI Java DSL tests as our integration sample uses the DSL. What you've merged into SI 5.0 covers everything that the sample was doing. We now have a green Boot 2.0 build. with SI 5 and Reactor 3.

Glad to hear that!
So, we can close this issue already 😄

Or is there anything else you would like to see from our side ?

Not just yet. We'll close it once we're building against a milestone of SI.

Uh! Lo-o-ong story... But I glad we nailed it finally! 😄

[wilkinsona]

:) I kinda forgot about this issue… There have been several others as we've tracked the milestones.
