Spring Framework Install - a quick tutorial to install Spring Framework on your development environment. Please downloaded the latest version of Spring framework (spring-framework-2.5.1-with-dependencies.zip). In this section we will extract the downloaded file and pick the required libraries and then install in our development environment.
Extracting Spring download
Now extract the downloaded file (spring-framework-2.5.1-with-dependencies.zip) into your favorite directory. Depending upon the system speed it will take around 1 minute.
Once extract go to the extracted folder and you will find many files.
Here are some of the file names:
- build.bat
- build.xml
- build-continuous.xml
- changelog.txt
- license.txt
- maven.xml
- notice.txt
- project.properties
- readme.txt
- tests.bat
Here is the screen shot of the directory:
The dist directory of the spring framework contains the spring modules (modules directory) library files. We are mostly concern with these jar files. We will copy these jar files into our development environment. These jar files are:
- spring-aop.jar
- spring-beans.jar
- spring-context.jar
- spring-context-support.jar
- spring-core.jar
- spring-jdbc.jar
- spring-jms.jar
- spring-orm.jar
- spring-test.jar
- spring-tx.jar
- spring-web.jar
- spring-webmvc.jar
- spring-webmvc-portlet.jar
- spring-webmvc-struts.jar
We will be using these libraries as per our requirement in our application.
Another most important directory is "lib", which contains required library files for the application.
The following libraries are included in the Spring Framework distribution because they are required either for building the framework or for running the sample apps. Note that each of these libraries is subject to the respective license; check the respective project distribution/website before using any of them in your own applications.
