download spring with dependencies

Question

hi there,

is there a way to get a spring-with-dependencies.zip for the latest version of spring (3.0x) ?

I know that one could get whatever dependencies using maven/ivy but if I were NOT to use either of these tools, AND also without knowing which library versions are compatible, how can I get all the JARs one-shot ?

Just like CentOS re-assembles Redhat Enterprise for free, does anyone assemble spring for developers to use like earlier days ?

Thank you,

Answer 1

Maven does this, although that's using a big tool - with other repercussions - for a somewhat smaller job.

Answer 2

There is a -with-dependencies.zip distribution for versions up to 3.0.2, but not for 3.0.3, for some reason.

This package was discussed in SPR-6575, but they seem to have lapsed again.
