When just importing the ftp example as a maven project, I ran into the issue of a slf4j version discrepancy described here: http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#IllegalAccessError This is solved by adding the specific version dependency of `slf4j-api`. * Add the specific `slf4j-api` dependency to the Gradle script * Change the dependency scope for `slf4j-` impl to the `runtime`. * Regenerate POMs
Basic Samples
This is a good place to get started. The samples here are technically motivated and demonstrate the bare minimum with regard to configuration and code to help you to get introduced to the basic concepts, API and configuration of Spring Integration and how they relate to Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP).
For example; if your are looking for an answer on how to wire a Service Activator to a Channel or how to apply a Gateway to your message exchange or how to get started with using the Mail or XML module etc., this would be the right place to find a good sample.
