/**
 * Implementation of the Spring Attributes facade for Commons Attributes.
 *
 * <p>Please see the
 * <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/attributes">
 * Commons Attributes documentation</a> for information on how to use the
 * attribute compiler.
 *
 * <p>As of December 2003, follow the Javadocs to the AttributeCompiler class
 * to see how the Ant task works. Note that you need to put the following jars
 * in your $ANT_HOME/lib directory for the Common Attributes compiler to work:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Commons Attributes compiler jar
 * <li>the xjavadoc Jar (from XDoclet)
 * <li>commons-collection.jar (from Jakarta Commons)
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>You need to perform the attribute compilation step before compiling your source.
 *
 * <p>See build.xml in the tests for package org.springframework.aop.autoproxy.metadata
 * for an example of the required Ant scripting. The header of this build script
 * includes some quick, and hopefully useful, hints on using Commons Attributes.
 * The source files in the same package (TxClass and TxClassWithClassAttribute)
 * illustrate attribute usage in source files.
 *
 * <p>The Spring Framework project does not provide support usage of specific
 * attributes implementations. Please refer to the appropriate site and mailing
 * list of the attributes implementation.
