Local fix

Problem summary

• - It was not possible to add the @CICSProgram annotation to a
  method in a Spring Boot application.
  - CICS Explorer did not provide support for adding Java EE 8
  libraries as a build path library.
  

Problem conclusion

• - You can now add the @CICSProgram annotation to a method in a
  Spring Boot application. You can then invoke it using an EXEC
  CICS LINK from any CICS program.
  
  - CICS Explorer now includes support for adding Java EE 8
  libraries as a build path library.
  .
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.5 of the CICS
  Explorer.
  .
  CICS Transaction Server for z/OS APAR PH14856 needs to be
  applied in order for CICS Explorer 5.5.0.5 to take advantage of
  the ability to add the @CICSProgram annotation to a method in a
  Spring Boot application.
