We made a fairly significant change to Spring Boot in 2.3.0.M1. It was the first release of the project to be built with Gradle rather than Maven. A thread on Twitter about the migration had a number of people asking why we switched and the benefits, if any, that we’d seen. This blog post aims to answer those questions.

Each project in the Spring portfolio is run in a fairly autonomous manner. We strive for consistency where our users will see it most – API design, for example – but choose the tools that best meet the needs of the project for things that are less visible. One example of this…

I am happy to announce that Spring Fu 0.3.0 is available. As a reminder, Spring Fu is an incubator for Spring Boot programmatic configuration using DSLs in order to configure it explicitly with code in a declarative way, achieving great discoverability thanks to auto-complete.

JaFu is back!

This new milestone brings back JaFu (the Java DSL) in addition to KoFu (the Kotlin DSL). JaFu was removed in 0.1.0 because at that point, I had not the bandwidth to support both Java and Kotlin DSLs, and in term of API I was not sure that the Java variant was attractive enough to justify such effort, but I…

I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring Security OAuth 2.5.0.

End-of-Life Notice

The 2.5.0 release is the final minor release. See the announcement for further details.
