Prior to this commit, a NoClassDefFoundError caught in TestContextManager's retrieveTestExecutionListeners() method would be handled differently for implicit default listeners (i.e., listeners not declared via @TestExecutionListeners) and listeners explicitly declared via @TestExecutionListeners. Specifically, a NoClassDefFoundError would cause a test to fail for an explicitly declared TestExecutionListener but not for an implicitly declared one. This commit addresses this issue by: - Always swallowing a NoClassDefFoundError for both implicitly and explicitly declared TestExecutionListeners. - Changing the log level from DEBUG to INFO to make such situations more visible to the average end user. Issue: SPR-11347
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.
Downloading artifacts

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/SpringSource/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.
