So Henry did the review on the review board, and we now have a branch that
is pretty good for integration into the master branch. Shall I do the
merging already, or do we want to wait and verify the final go on the 4.0
release (which is still in a vote on general@ list I think)?

>> Hi all,
>>
>> I've made a remote branch called 'spring-module' to represent the attempt
>> at fixing issue METAMODEL-11 which is about having a spring FactoryBean
>> available for constructing DataContext objects based on variable factory
>> properties [1].
>>
>> It so far works for JDBC, CSV and Excel DataContexts. Would appreciate
>> any kind of review or thoughts on the approach.
>>
>> To get an idea of how it would work from a Spring POV, it will make sense
>> to take a look at the testcases. These read files from the folder
>> spring/src/test/resources/examples [2] ...
>>
>> Some questions:
>>  * Could we make this more extensible somehow, so it would be possible to
>> plug in other datacontext types than those we have out of the box? Is that
>> desirable/important?
>>  * Would the current style of implementation work if some dependencies
>> are missing at runtime. For instance, would it work for a CSV DataContext
>> when MetaModel-excel is not on the classpath, or does the imports in the
>> top of the factory bean class require ALL modules to be available on
>> classpath? If so, that's kinda unfortunate...
>>
>> Kind regards,
