Minimum JARs for Spring 3.0 dependency injection

Question

Similarly to this question regarding an earlier Spring version, what are the minimum dependencies required for an application to use Spring 3.0 dependency injection only? The application context will be configured by XML only. Spring depends on a logging framework, so assume I already include these JARs for logging:

• jcl-over-slf4j.jar
• logback-classic.jar
• logback-core.jar
• slf4j-api.jar

Answer 1

the best - and reliable way - of establishing this is to create a maven project and add dependency for spring-core, spring-bundle and spring-context. when you build/install this project maven will do the needful.
