Incorrect value of kind attribute in spring-batch-3.0.xsd

[spring-projects-issues]

Harold Thor Eyrich opened BATCH-2117 and commented

The value "parent" is not valid for attribute kind on the annotation for element flow in spring-batch-2.2.xsd. Attribute definition from spring-tool-3.1.xsd:
<xsd:attribute name="kind" default="direct">
xsd:simpleType
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="ref"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="direct"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:attribute>

Spring Batch v2 and its xsd are not supported anymore, but this is still a valid issue in spring-batch-3.0.xsd which is used by the latest v4.3. The fix consists in changing the value of the kind attribute in Line 482 as follows:

-- <tool:annotation kind="parent">
++ <tool:annotation kind="ref">

Can I take it ? I want to start contributing and this seems like a perfect first issue to solve and get used to. I want also to ask if there are any tests I need to add or edit.

@bbohosyan Sure, you are welcome! There are no tests to add/update for this change. You can open a PR and I will link it to this issue.
