Support Dozer starter

[kazuki43zoo]

I propose support the Dozer spring boot starter.

We can use dozer more easy as follow:

package com.example.dozerdemo;

import com.github.dozermapper.core.Mapper;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;

@SpringBootApplication
public class DozerDemoApplication {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(DozerDemoApplication.class, args);
  }

  @Bean
  CommandLineRunner run(Mapper dozerMapper) {
    return args -> {
      Src src = new Src();
      src.a = "dozer demo";

      Dest dest = dozerMapper.map(src, Dest.class);

      System.out.println(dest.a);

    };
  }

  static class Src {
    private String a;

    public String getA() {
      return a;
    }

    public void setA(String a) {
      this.a = a;
    }
  }

  static class Dest {
    private String a;

    public String getA() {
      return a;
    }

    public void setA(String a) {
      this.a = a;
    }
  }

}

Any feedback?

If we were to add one mapping library, then I think we'd have to add some others too. In addition to Dozer, we'd need to consider Orika and JMapper and probably others as none of them appears to be a de facto standard in the way that Hibernate is for JPA. I also haven't seen sufficient demand for mapping libraries to warrant a section with multiple options so I think the best course of action is to close this one. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
