NovaEvents is derived from ApplicationEvent which extends EventObject.
EventObject implements Serializable.

It is bad practice if defined instance fields within NovaEvents
derived classes do not implement Serializable.

A boxed primitive is created from a String in
* RangeAspect#handlePaginationRange()
* LoginController#dialog()
just to extract the unboxed primitive value with Integer#valueOf().
This creates an Integer object. It is more efficient to use parseInt()
which creates a primitive int.

Corrected random indention in LoginController

In getSkillQuestion() a call to stubQuestions.get() contained an argument
with an incompatible class. Session will be converted into String using
toString() but this is not what was intended to do here.

In saveQuestion() the CouchDB document ID was used, but the sessions
keyword should have been used instead.

User object will be serialized into a String using toString() but this
should not be done in a unit test.

Interactive API documentation

Supersedes !5.

> This feature supports developers with an interactive documentation of

Changes & Todos:
* Branch & code clean up
  * Rebase on master
  * Squash related commits authored by the same developer
  * Remove commits whose code has been reverted later on
  * Fix whitespaces
* Remove implementation notes (Java signatures are not helpful)
* Improve documentation of responses (Tom Käsler)
  * Do not define status messages for methods individually (DRY)
* Create JSON at compile-time by using
  [swagger-maven-plugin](https://github.com/kongchen/swagger-maven-plugin) (Tom Käsler)

See merge request !10

remove swagger annotation from feedbackcontroller, coursecontroller and getter and setter for sortOrder

add swagger maven plugin configuration

remove spingfox for ApiIgnore direction
use swagger-maven-plugin to generate swagger.json before compiling rather than
 dynamically generate it on request

Reasons:
* not used consistently
* Java signatures are not helpful
* Return type should not be hard-coded in a String

Statistics model now correctly uses value instead of notes for
documentation of properties.

Edited tests to support the new EnableWebMvc Annotation from the ExtraConfig file. No more test errors.

The config parameter is now used instead of the hard-coded value '5'.
