Could you get some example or indicate some svn url , too?

Thanx a lot.

Following up the earlier comments about not being able to find 3.0.0.RC2 in any Maven repositories, I’m wondering if there are any Ivy repositories out there where I might be able to find 3.0.0.RC2. If so, what are the Ivy settings to use?

I ran into trouble trying to consume 3.0.0.RC2 at its expected Ivy repository locations according to Spring’s own build. Here’s what I tried.

I used projects/spring-build/common/ivysettings.xml in the distribution to configure Ivy. I made sure all the stuff in projects/spring-build/lib/ivy/ was in the classpath that created Ivy. Then I tried doing an ivy:resolve on an arbitrary Spring module against the spring-portfolio-lookup resolver. All I got was messages like the following:
[ivy:resolve] ==== bundle-release-repository: tried
[ivy:resolve] s3://repository.springsource.com/ivy/bundles/release/org.springframework/org.springframework.context/3.0.0.RC2/ivy-3.0.0.RC2.xml
[ivy:resolve] ==== bundle-milestone-repository: tried
[ivy:resolve] s3://repository.springsource.com/ivy/bundles/milestone/org.springframework/org.springframework.context/3.0.0.RC2/ivy-3.0.0.RC2.xml
…
…
[ivy:resolve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve] :: UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES ::
[ivy:resolve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve] :: org.springframework#org.springframework.context;3.0.0.RC2: not found
[ivy:resolve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Then I figured, even if the Spring modules themselves aren’t at the expected Ivy repositories, surely their third-party dependencies are. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to build 3.0.0.RC2 by hand. (See previous message.) So I tried doing an ivy:resolve on an arbitrary third-party module against the external-lookup resolver. What I get is a variation on the same problem:

[ivy:resolve] ==== bundle-external-repository: tried
[ivy:resolve] s3://repository.springsource.com/ivy/bundles/external/org.apache.commons/com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging/1.1.1/ivy-1.1.1
.xml
[ivy:resolve] ==== library-external-repository: tried
[ivy:resolve] s3://repository.springsource.com/ivy/libraries/external/org.apache.commons/com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging/1.1.1/ivy-1.1
.1.xml
[ivy:resolve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve] :: UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES ::
[ivy:resolve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve] :: org.apache.commons#com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging;1.1.1: not found
[ivy:resolve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Now, what’s odd to me about this failure is that the same resolve had to be succeeding against the same repositories since I managed to get the Spring build working, and it had to find those modules somewhere.

Thankfully, I'm able to do some hacks, based on what the Spring build outputs, to be able to consume a reconstituted 3.0.0.RC2 via Ivy. Just, it would be nice if there were a right, recommended way to do this.

I'm experimenting with building 3.0.0.RC2 from scratch. Running "ant" and "ant jar package" from projects/build-spring-framework/ works without a hitch.

I noticed, though, that everything that got built came out with a version of 3.0.0.BUILD-timestamp (where timestamp is in yyyyMMdd… form). This verbose, snapshot-like version would show up in both the JAR names and as the revision in the ivy.xml files that get generated. Instead of this, I wanted to see if I could generate the actual version, 3.0.0.RC2, as the version.

I tried going to projects/build.properties and changing the version property from 3.0.0 to 3.0.0.RC2, but there's a bundlor Ant task invocation that would complain there was something invalid about that. Also, there's a build.stamp property commented out in build.properties; I tried setting that to an empty string, but a BUILD-timestamp suffix would still get added to the version.

Can anyone say how to configure the Spring build to produce 3.0.0.RC2 as the actual version?

The current implementation in Spring3 RC2 is only a subset of the standalone Java-config capabilities (which is stale since 1.0.0M4 in favor of integration with Spring3) . A lot of features, existing in 1.0.0M4 simply do not exist in Spring3 RC2 AnnotationConfigApplicationContext. E.g. – @AspectJAutoProxy, @AnnotationDrivenTx, etc.

If I am not in error, Release Candidate implies feature-freeze. Does it mean final version of Spring3 AnnotationConfigApplicationContext won't have those critical features?

Released? As previous posters said: it's not much of a "release" if it isn't in your milestone repo yet and thus not easily available for inclusion in (test) applications.

Can you please public the Spring 3 RC2 modules in a Maven repository? It's only half of the world that's using Maven.
I found these S3 repositories but they do not contain all modules (I want to use the spring-web module) and I also think not all dependencies are correct because when I include spring-beans in my project, I do not get the spring-core and spring-context dependencies with it.

Milestone Repository: http://s3browse.com/explore/maven.springframework.org/milestone
Snapshot Repository: http://s3browse.com/explore/maven.springframework.org/snapshot

Tnkx!!
