= Spring Statemachine The Spring Statemachine project aims to provide a common infrastructure to work with state machine concepts in Spring applications. It is advised to check the actual state of this project by referring to the latest releases found on http://projects.spring.io/spring-statemachine/[Spring Statemachine Project Page]. The git repo master branch may be relatively unstable when new features are added into the source code. == Code of Conduct This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant link:CODE_OF_CONDUCT.adoc[code of conduct]. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to spring-code-of-conduct@pivotal.io. == Downloading Artifacts See https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/wiki/Downloading-Spring-artifacts[downloading Spring artifacts] for Maven repository information. == Documentation http://projects.spring.io/spring-statemachine/[The Spring Statemachine Project Page] contains links to currently available JavaDoc and Reference Documentation for particular releases and versions. == Samples Samples can be found under `spring-statemachine-samples`. Check the reference documentation more about what those do. == Building from Source Spring Statemachine uses a http://gradle.org[Gradle]-based build system. In the instructions below, http://vimeo.com/34436402[`./gradlew`] is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build. === Prerequisites http://help.github.com/set-up-git-redirect[Git] and the http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads[JDK8 build]. Be sure that your `JAVA_HOME` environment variable points to the `jdk` folder extracted from the JDK download. While build requires `JDK8`, created artifacts are `JDK7` compatible. === Check out sources [indent=0] ---- git clone git@github.com:spring-projects/spring-statemachine.git ---- === Install all spring-\* jars into your local Maven cache [indent=0] ---- ./gradlew install ---- === Compile and test; build all jars, distribution zips, and docs [indent=0] ---- ./gradlew build ---- Discover more commands with `./gradlew tasks`. See also the https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/wiki/Gradle-build-and-release-FAQ[Gradle build and release FAQ]. == Contributing http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests[Pull requests] are welcome; see the https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-statemachine/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md[contributor guidelines] for details.
