With the migration to Jakarta annotations in 6.0, we switched to supporting @jakarta.annotation.ManagedBean and @jakarta.inject.Named annotations for component scanning and component name lookups.

To better assist projects in the migration to Spring 6+, we should reinstate support for the legacy JSR-250 @javax.annotation.ManagedBean and JSR-330 @javax.inject.Named annotations so that existing compiled code will continue to work as expected.

• Retain support for legacy JSR-250 javax.annotation.PostConstruct/PreDestroy and JSR-330 javax.inject.Inject in addition to Jakarta EE 9 annotations #27444
• Reinstate dependency injection support for legacy JSR-250 @javax.annotation.Resource annotation #30695

Deliverables

• Support @javax.annotation.ManagedBean and @javax.inject.Named in ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider#registerDefaultFilters(...).
• Support @javax.annotation.ManagedBean and @javax.inject.Named in AnnotationBeanNameGenerator#isStereotypeWithNameValue(...).
• Update tests.
• Update Javadoc.
