Injection value in XML application context violates conventions

Reports properties configured via <value> or <ref> sub-elements and offers to replace them with the corresponding attributes.

Example:

<beans>
  <bean class="MyBean" id="myBean"/>

  <bean class="MyFactory">
    <property name="bean">
      <ref bean="myBean"/> <!-- reports 'Usage of explicit <ref> element' -->
    </property>
  </bean>
</beans>

After applying the quick-fix:

<beans>
  <bean class="MyBean" id="myBean"/>
  <bean class="MyFactory">
    <property name="bean" ref="myBean"/>
  </bean>
</beans>
