TL;DR; Download the State of Spring Survey 2024 report here!

We asked...and you answered. The State of Spring Survey 2024 walks through all of the latest trends in the Java and Spring ecosystems. Responded to by over 1400 respondents, we asked about virtual threads, testcontainers, and native compilation with GraalVM. You told us about Kubernetes, generative AI, and upgrade practices in your enterprise. The State of Spring Survey 2024 was the most comprehensive survey we have ever put out and we are pleased to be able to share the results with our community.

Are you excited to use virtual threads? Is AI all hype or is it game changing? What would you change about Spring if you could? (You can, by the way.)

The State of Spring survey is back! Last time we learned that 90% of respondents were looking forward to virtual threads through Project Loom. We learned that building APIs was still the main use case for Spring applications, with plain JSON over HTTP as the number one type of API. We also…

Dear Spring community,

As we are preparing for the Spring Framework 6.2 release later this year, it is time to phase out not only the 6.0.x branch but also the 5.3.x line.

We hereby announce that the last 6.0.x and 5.3.x releases will be published in August, with the official end of open source support on August 31, 2024. Along with Spring Framework 5.3.x, the Spring Security project makes the same adjustment for its 5.8.x timeline.

The Spring Framework 5.3.x line has been one of the longest-supported branches in Spring's history and keeps being supported under commercial support terms for another couple of years. You can read more about our commercial releases at https://spring.vmware.com…

In November of last year, the team released major versions across the Spring portfolio, shepherding in a new foundation for enterprise application development on the JVM for the next decade. With that round of major versions, the Java baseline for the projects was increased from Java 8 to Java 17 as well as the migration from Java EE to Jakarta EE. Beyond the new baseline, we introduced new native compilation capabilities via GraalVM as well as improved observability across the portfolio. We realize that, while we put a lot of work into making the upgrade as seamless as we possibly can within…

The Spring team is out in force here at Devnexus! I hope you'll come see us. Here's my annotated look at what sessions I want to see over the oh-so-brief three days of the show.

See you in Vegas!

A critical piece of infrastructure, the Spring Artifactory instance lies at the heart of the Spring portfolio development work. Since 2013, JFrog, Inc., has generously sponsored the instance for the Spring developer community.

In October 2020, we announced some permissions changes to our Artifactory instance to restrict anonymous access to the platform for third-party dependencies.

At that time, we asked the Community to source Spring releases from Maven Central. Today, we are announcing some changes to our infrastructure in alignment with that request so that we can better position repo…
