On behalf of the Spring and Apache Geode communities, I am extremely pleased and excited to announce the release of Spring Data for Apache Geode 1.0.0-incubating.

You can get the bits from Maven Central by including the following dependency in either your application Maven POM or Gradle build file...

</dependency>

Gradle

compile 'org.springframework.data:spring-data-geode:1.0.0.INCUBATING-RELEASE'
