Spring Framework

The Spring Framework provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform. A key element of Spring is infrastructural support at the application level: Spring focuses on the "plumbing" of enterprise applications so that teams can focus on application-level business logic, without unnecessary ties to specific deployment environments.

The framework also serves as the foundation for Spring Integration, Spring Batch and the rest of the Spring family of projects. Browse the repositories under the SpringSource organization on GitHub for a full list.

.NET and Python variants are available as well.

Downloading artifacts

Instructions on downloading Spring artifacts via Maven and other build systems are available via the project wiki.

Documentation

See the current Javadoc and Reference docs.

Getting support

Check out the Spring forums and the Spring tag on StackOverflow. Commercial support is available too.

Issue Tracking

Spring's JIRA issue tracker can be found here. Think you've found a bug? Please consider submitting a reproduction project via the spring-framework-issues repository. The readme provides simple step-by-step instructions.

Building from source

The Spring Framework uses a Gradle-based build system. In the instructions below, ./gradlew is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build. The only prerequisites are git and JDK 1.6+.

check out sources

git clone git://github.com/SpringSource/spring-framework.git

compile and test, build all jars, distribution zips and docs

./gradlew build

install all spring-* jars into your local Maven cache

./gradlew install

import sources into your IDE

Run ./import-into-eclipse.sh or read import-into-idea.md as appropriate.

... and discover more commands with ./gradlew tasks. See also the Gradle build and release FAQ.
