  • Dr. Mark Pollack just announced Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.2GA!, including the server editions for local, Kubernetes, YARN and Cloud Foundry. This new release is packed with good stuff.

Pivotal Announces Spring Curriculum & Certification Changes

Engineering | Paul Chapman | May 10, 2017 | ...

Introduction

It has been almost 10 years now since I taught my first Core Spring class. At that time almost everything was XML and configuring JPA or Spring Security, for example, could be a lot of hard work. Spring has matured a great deal in the meantime with component-scanning, Java Configuration and Spring Boot making it much more fun to use. And the number of Spring Projects has increased considerably.

Pivotal Training continues to enhance our Spring curriculum and introduce new courses - including Spring Boot Developer and Spring Cloud Services. I have provided an overview of these…

Spring Tips: Season 2 Recap

Engineering | Josh Long | April 12, 2017 | ...

Hi Spring fans! We've now finished two seasons - 11 episodes and a recap post each - of Spring Tips. I'm going to take a little while to dream up some more content and, before you know it, we'll be back at it again! I'm always interested in hearing proposed topics so if you have some, please, by all means, shout it out loud to me on Twitter (@starbuxman) or by email ([email protected]).

The motivations for me in doing these Spring Tips are:

  • revisit traditional topics in light of Spring Boot and
  • highlight parts of the amazing Spring ecosystem that, for one reason or another, don't get enough attention.

Spring Boot's new Gradle plugin

Engineering | Andy Wilkinson | April 05, 2017 | ...

One of the main themes of Spring Boot 2.0 M1 is a range of significant improvements to its Gradle plugin. Many of those improvements have just been merged and are available in the latest Spring Boot snapshots. There's a few weeks until Spring Boot 2.0.0.M1 will be released at the beginning of May and we'd love to hear your early feedback on the new plugin before then.

You can read more about the plugin's capabilities in its reference and API documentation.

Trying the new plugin

The new plugin requires Gradle 3.4 or later. Like the rest of Spring Boot, snapshots are published to https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot. The easiest way to use a snapshot is to create a new Gradle project on start.spring.io
