Affects: \5.2.6.RELEASE and minor (since 1.1)
If I see the javadoc of the AbstractTemplateViewResolver class, it indicates:
public class AbstractTemplateViewResolver
extends UrlBasedViewResolver
Abstract base class for template view resolvers, in particular for FreeMarker views.
Well the class really is not abstract how is expected.
Of course it comes from the source code:

Well spotted! This class is primarily named after AbstractTemplateView (which is actually abstract) but nevertheless does not make sense as a concrete class (so should be declared abstract indeed).

It turns out that there are two more such cases: AbstractJCacheConfiguration and AbstractJmxAttribute. I'll fix those along with this issue.

As usual, huge thanks for your effort in this wonderful framework!
