1. INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the fourth milestone of Spring 3.0 which is scheduled for final release in Q3 2009.
|
|
|
|
|
It is nearly feature complete, with only very specific areas still being worked on for RC1.

3. DISTRIBUTION JAR FILES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Spring Framework module jar files can be found in the 'dist' directory. Note that
|
|
|
|
|
this release does not contain a 'spring.jar' file anymore, in contrast to previous Spring
|
|
|
|
|
generations. Furthermore, the jar file names follow bundle repository conventions now.
