This commit provides a first attempt at defining a standard code formatting scheme for the Spring Framework in Intellij IDEA. These are the major changes compared to standard settings: * default indent option to use tab character instead of space for all languages * one space before the left brace of an array initializer * keep when reformating: multiple expressions in one line, simple blocks in one line * method declaration parameters: do not align when multiline * else, catch and finally on new line * keep one space before } (solely use to keep the space between the end of the last method and the end of the class) * minimum blank line after class header 0 (instead of 1) * Disabled Javadoc formatting * class count to trigger static import to 50 (to prevent import org.foo.*; instead of listing the classes of org.foo) * changed the import sequence to import in the following order: static imports, java.*, javax.*, others, org.springframework.*. Each sequence is separated by a space
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 Spring organization on GitHub for a full list.
Downloading Artifacts
See downloading Spring artifacts for Maven repository information. Unable to use Maven or other transitive dependency management tools? See building a distribution with dependencies.
Documentation
See the current Javadoc and reference docs.
Getting Support
Check out the Spring forums and the spring and spring-mvc tags on Stack Overflow. Commercial support is available too.
Issue Tracking
Report issues via the Spring Framework JIRA. Understand our issue management process by reading about the lifecycle of an issue. Think you've found a bug? Please consider submitting a reproduction project via the spring-framework-issues GitHub repository. The readme there 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.
Prerequisites
Git and OpenJDK 8 early access build 100 or later
Be sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the jdk1.8.0 folder
extracted from the JDK download.
Check out sources
git clone git@github.com:spring-projects/spring-framework.git
Import sources into your IDE
Run ./import-into-eclipse.sh or read import-into-idea.md as appropriate.
Note: Per the prerequisites above, ensure that you have JDK 8 configured properly in your IDE.
Install all spring-* jars into your local Maven cache
./gradlew install
Compile and test; build all jars, distribution zips, and docs
./gradlew build
... and discover more commands with ./gradlew tasks. See also the Gradle
build and release FAQ.
