Re: [Springframework-developer] [Springframework-user] Spring Framework 2.5 RC2 released

[Matt R. <ma...@ra...>]

I'm assuming Maven artifacts will be uploaded shortly?

http://s3.amazonaws.com/maven.springframework.org/milestone

It might be helpful to write up some sort of upgrade guide (from 2.0
to 2.5) for Maven users. With 2.0, we were able to use the uber
spring.jar, but this doesn't seem to work for 2.5.

Specifically, if were were using Spring + Spring MVC (powered by
spring.jar) in 2.0, you now have to include spring-webmvc in your
dependencies. Since this artifact is dependent on fine-grained JARs,
you have to either 1) exclude all the fine-grained dependencies from
spring-webmvc or 2) start using all the fine-grained JARs instead of
the uber JAR. #2 is recommended by the Maven folks, but this release
seems to have forced the issue a bit more.

I've wrote up my migration experience on my blog:

Thanks,

Matt
