Documentation for Portlet MVC does not refer to Portlet 2.0 spec (JSR-286) [SPR-13513]

Chas B opened SPR-13513 and commented

The Spring reference documentation at section 4.2.2 regarding Spring-MVC-Portlet, specifically mentions Portlet spec 1.0 (JSR-168) - however, it seems that Spring does also support Portlet 2.0 (JSR-286) or Portlet Spec 3.0 (JSR-362) - they should perhaps also be mentioned so that developers do not disregard the framework as being unable to develop portlet spec 2 or 3 portlets.

Indeed... unfortunately, those references never got updated, despite the Portlet 2.0 API (JSR-286) being required since Spring 3.0 already! To be fixed for all active branches now.
