We are pleased to announce that Spring Cloud Task 1.1.1.RELEASE is now available via Github, Pivotal download repository, and Maven Central.

The main driver for this Spring Cloud Task release is to replace the MYISAM engine that is used to create TASK_SEQ table for the MySQL database with the InnoDB engine.

Update: a comprehensive Spring Boot + Kotlin tutorial is now available.

Following the Kotlin support on start.spring.io we introduced a few months ago, we have continued to work to ensure that Spring and Kotlin play well together. One of the key strengths of Kotlin is that it provides a very good interoperability with libraries written in Java. But there are ways to go even further and allow writing fully idiomatic Kotlin code when developing your next Spring application. In addition to Spring Framework support for Java 8 that Kotlin applications can leverage like functional web or bean…

Java Baseline

Spring Batch has historically followed the baseline of Spring Framework with the intent of providing the best interoperability between Spring Batch and…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! We're now squarely in 2017, and 0 as always - there is much to cover!

This is also the first week of the year. I note it with some pride because it also marks the 6th anniversary of the first installment of This Week in Spring, in January 2011, which I've since continued every Tuesday without fail come sickness, holiday, travel or otherwise. It's been a heckuva run and I'm excited to see what will grace This Week in Spring in the next 6+ years! I'm eternally grateful for all the people (from the community and internal to VMWare and now Pivotal) that have contributed to This Week in Spring over the years! For the last 3+ years my friend and Pivotal's own …

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speaker: Dieter Hubau Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/writing-your-own-spring-boot-starter

Anyone who is actively using Spring must have heard of Spring Boot by now. It is the current de facto standard tool to start with a new Spring project and will become even more prevalent over the coming years. Next to an easy to use interface at start.spring.io and very good documentation, there are a ton of so called Spring Boot Starters which a developer can use to jumpstart their development. While the auto-configuration and starters often seem to…

Over the years, the Java Experience team has worked hard to ensure that Cloud Foundry was the best place to run Java applications in the cloud. As that support has matured we’ve turned our attention to the developer experience. In this session, you’ll hear from the lead developer of the buildpack about the new support for JMX access, debugging, and profiling. Rounding out this session will be a short tour of other production features added recently.
