Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips, we'll look at the Spring Boot build plugin, "fat" .jars, executable .jars, and "thin" .jars.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I am in Casablanca, Morocco for the amazing Devoxx Morocco event talking to developers in the hub of North Africa.

Can you believe it's already the middle of November? And can you believe we are less than a month away from the amazing SpringOne Platform event in San Francisco, CA? I hope you're going!

Now, without further ado, let's get to it.

• Spring messaging ninja Oleg Zhurakousky just announced Spring Cloud Stream Elmhurst.M3 / 2.0.0.M3. The new release improves content-type resolution, support for Apache Kafka 0.11+, and introduces a good deal of nice samples.
• Spring Data Geode/GemFire lead John Blum just announced Spring Data Geode / GemFire 2.0.0.RC1. The new release updates dependencies, builds on Java 8 (introducing Java 8 types and lambdas), and introduces new samples.
• In this last week's installment of Spring Tips I revisit Kotlin and Spring…

We are pleased to announce the 2.0.0.M3 release of the Spring Cloud Stream Elmhurst release train.

Spring Cloud Stream Elmhurst 2.0.0.M3 is available for use in the Spring Milestone repository. The release notes include relevant information about version compatibility with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Spring AMQP, and Spring for Apache Kafka.

The following sections list new features and improvements included in this release:

Improved Content Type Resolution

The content-type resolution has been improved and consolidated in the channel interceptors, which makes it configurable for situations that require application-level customizations. Also, based on the community feedback, we now set the default content-type as application/json. However, it is still possible to override it via BindingProperties or it can be passed with the Message…

We are pleased to announce the first Release Candidate for the version 2.1 of the Spring for Apache Kafka:

repositories {
    maven { url 'http://repo.spring.io/milestone' }
}
compile "org.springframework.kafka:spring-kafka:2.1.0.RC1"

The general reason for so quick point release is the recently released Apache Kafka 1.0.0 version. There are no critical feature in that release, but some breaking changes in the kafka.admin and kafka.streams have been introduced. Therefore this release represents mostly compatibility with Apache Kafka 1.0.0:

• Deprecate bounce() and waitUntilSynced() in the KafkaEmbedded since respective API in the AdminUtils have been removed

• The KStreamBuilderFactoryBean now uses StreamsBuilder instead of deprecated KStreamBuilder

• The @EmbeddedKafka.brokerProperties() can be configured with the properties placeholders

• The SpEL expressions in the @KafkaListener attributes now can be used simplified since BeanFactory resolver is supplied with the TemplateAwareExpressionParser

• A NonResponsiveConsumerEvent has been introduced to track the sate of the ListenerContainer for possible target Broker unavailability

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips we'll revisit Kotlin, leveraging more DSLs in both the Kotlin and Spring ecosystem.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Antwerp, Belgium for the amazing Devoxx (Belgium) event. I'm co-presenting with my friends Matt Raible and Mark Heckler on progressive web applications and reactive Spring. I'll be joined by a lot of Pivotal and Spring teammates here so make sure to check the schedule.

Later this week I'll be doing a joint webinar - Grails for the Spring Boot Developer - with Grails co-founder Jeff Scott Brown.

Then, it's off to Casablanca, Morocco, for the Devoxx MA event.

If you're at either event, don't hesitate to say hi…
