Spring Tool Suite and Groovy/Grails Tool Suite 3.3.0.M2 released

Releases | Martin Lippert | June 05, 2013 | ...

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the second milestone release 3.3.0.M2 of the Spring Tool Suite (STS) and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS).

Highlights from this milestone build include:

  • 4.x-based distributions now on Eclipse Kepler 4.3 (RC2)
  • ready for Spring Framework 4
  • new and unified "New Spring Project" wizard
  • improved support for JavaConfig-driven Spring projects
  • Groovy-Eclipse now has a smaller install footprint and uses less memory
  • GGTS now includes Grails 2.2.2

Both tool suites ship on top of the latest Eclipse Juno SR2 release as well as on top of the latest Eclipse Kepler 4.3.0.RC2 release candidate. For optimal performance and stability we still recommend the distribution that is based on Eclipse 3.8.2.

The 3.3.0 release is scheduled for July 2013 - shortly after the Eclipse Kepler release.

Spring Batch 2.2.0 RC1 is now available

Releases | Michael Minella | April 09, 2013 | ...

We are pleased to announce that Spring Batch 2.2.0.RC1 is now available via the SpringSource Milestone repository. Spring Batch Home | Source on GitHub | Reference Documentation

Support for Spring Data

Spring Data is a collection of projects intended to make it easier to develop Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases. Based on a model of exposing Repository objects, Spring Data allows applications to access data in a simple and consistent way across many new platforms. Spring Batch 2.2.0.RC1 now provides ItemReader and ItemWriter implementations for a number of the data stores supported by Spring Data including MongoDB, Neo4j, and Gemfire (write only). In addition, Spring Batch 2.2.0.RC1 now has a RepositoryItemReader and RepositoryItemWriter that will read and write items from custom Spring Data Repository implementations.

Java Configuration

With this release, Spring Batch 2.2.0.RC1 now supports Java based job definitions. Building a job definition with java configuration is now available via the new @EnableBatchProcessing annotation and a collection of builders that allow you to construct jobs, steps, flows, splits, etc. By using the @EnableBatchProcessing annotation the following features are enabled:
  • Creation of StepScope - Allowing the configuration of beans via @Scope("step")
  • @Autowired - A JobRepository, JobLauncher, JobRegistry, PlatformTransactionManager, JobBuilderFactory and StepBuilderFactory are all available to be autowired into your context.

Non-identifying Job Parameters

Spring Batch 2.2.0.RC1 now supports the use of job parameters that do not contribute to the generation of a JobInstance's identity. As part of this update, the JobParameters is no longer associated with a JobInstance and is now associated with a JobExecution. To support this change, the job repository schema has updated and a migration script has been provided. You can read the details about the migration script in the Getting Started Guide.

Other Improvements and Bug Fixes

With the release of Spring Batch 2.2.0.RC1, a host of other improvements and bug fixes have been added. The complete list of updates for this release can be found in the changelog for this revision.

Rest.js 0.9 Released

Releases | Jeremy Grelle | March 28, 2013 | ...

Dear Spring Community,

Today we’re excited to announce that rest.js is now part of Cujo.js and that rest.js 0.9 has been released.

https://github.com/cujojs/rest

rest.js is a RESTful HTTP client. It goes far beyond the typical XMLHttpRequest abstraction developers are accustomed to in other frameworks. rest.js is built upon composable interceptors that incrementally add new functionality to a client. Configured clients are tamper proof and can be safely shared within an application. If a portion of the application needs specific behavior, it can chain further interceptors on the common…

Dear Spring Community,

We are pleased to announce the release of when.js 2.0.0.
