Dropped or deprecated features

In Spring 5.0, there are some of the packages that have been either removed or deprecated at the API level. The mock.staticmock package of the spring-aspects module is no longer available. The BeanFactoryLocator is also not available along with the bean.factory.access package. The NativeJdbcExtractor is also no longer available along with the jdbc.support.nativejdbc package. The packages web.view.tiles2, orm.hibernate3, and orm.hibernate4 are also replaced with Tiles 3 and Hibernate 5.

Many other bundles like JasperReports, Portlet, Velocity, JDO, Guava, XMLBeans are no longer supported in Spring 5. If you are utilizing any of the preceding bundles, it is advised to remain on the Spring Framework 4.3.x.
