Dear Spring Community,

We are pleased to announce that the first milestone release of the Spring Android project is now available!

Spring Android supports usage of the Spring Framework in a Android environment. The defining feature of the 1.0.0.M1 release is RestTemplate support that provides a robust REST client to use in native Android applications.

To get you started, Keith has posted a Spring into Mobile Application Development blog, which provides insight into the project.

This milestone is the first in an exciting road ahead. If you're building native Android applications that communicate with Spring web apps, we invite you to join us in the development of the Spring Android project!
