Each spring-* subproject now has sourcesJar and javadocJar tasks - Ignore subproject overview.html files for now (not all have one) - Ensure @author attribution occurs - Javadoc 'header' is project description spring-asm is a special case - source jar is created, but empty (to comply with entry rules for Maven Central) - add package-info.java explaining the nature of spring-asm this is nice, because it shows up in the public API docs now. - add SpringAsmInfo in the org.springframework.asm package as a placeholder allowing the generation of javadocs (see link to bug) - add explicit 'repackageAsm' Gradle task allowing for easy testing and merging of jar containing bundlor manifest as well as jar containing repackaged ASM classes.
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.
