Missing dependency management for javax.validation:validation-api

[stepio]

I've had issues with javax.validation:validation-api dependency - for some reason in my project it was resolved as 1.0.0.GA instead of 1.1.0.Final (expected by org.hibernate:hibernate-validator).

As of now I've added this dependency locally:

    <properties>
        ...
        <javax-validation.version>1.1.0.Final</javax-validation.version>
        ...
    </properties>

    <dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            ...
            <dependency>
                <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
                <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
                <version>${javax-validation.version}</version>
            </dependency>
            ...
        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>

Is it reasonable to add the same to Spring Boot?

Yeah, I think it's reasonable. We already have dependency management for various other Java EE APIs such as JTA and Caching.

Ok, I'll do pull request
