-Spring Batch is a lightweight, comprehensive batch framework designed to enable the development of robust batch applications vital for the daily operations of enterprise systems.

+Spring Batch is a lightweight, comprehensive batch framework designed to enable the development of robust batch applications vital for the daily operations of enterprise systems.  Spring Batch builds upon the productivity, POJO-based development approach, and general ease of use capabilities people have come to know from the [Spring Framework](https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-framework), while making it easy for developers to access and leverage more advanced enterprise services when necessary.
 
 If you are looking for a runtime container for your Batch applications, or need a management console to view current and historic executions, take a look at [Spring Batch Admin](http://www.springsource.org/spring-batch-admin).  It is a set of services (Java, JSON, JMX) and an optional web UI that you can use to manage and monitor a Batch system.
