Polish PathPattern parser [SPR-15531]

[spring-projects-issues]

Arjen Poutsma opened SPR-15531 and commented

We should polish PathPattern and related classes so that they conform to Spring's code style, and also perform some other refactorings:

• Move PathRemainingMatchInfo into PathPattern
• Reduce the amount of public classes in org.springframework.web.util.patterns.
• Rename the plural patterns in the package name to pattern?

apoutsma, I've started working on this since I wanted to move ParsingPathMatcher to util.patterns and stumbled into related issues from there. At this point I've done everything you suggested already, except the patterns->pattern renaming at the package level.

I've also renamed web.util.patterns to web.util.pattern right away, in order to avoid yet another change of ParsingPathMatcher's new location.
