src-spring-framework/build-spring-framework

This is where the master build that creates releases of Spring Framework resides.
The build system is based on spring-build, which is linked in using an SVN
external to https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-build.

Build Pre-requisites:
- javac 1.6 or > must be in your system path
- ant 1.7 or > must be in your system path
- set ANT_OPTS as follows (to avoid out of memory errors):
    ANT_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xmx1024m -Dtest.vm.args='-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx1024m'"
