- XMLSpringResource constructor needs now only a path.
- XMLSpringResource addEventListener() updated to match EventDispatcher equivalent method signature.
- GlobalizationDictionary implements IExternalRessource.
- GlobalizationDictionary dispatches a COMPLETE event when file is loaded.
- GlobalizationDictionary load() function replaced by setUri() setter. load() function is used now for loading XML only.

- AbstractApplication extends spark.components.Application.
- AbstractAirApplication extends spark.components.WindowedApplication.
