Question

Is there a public Maven repository that contains spring-core 3 yet?

I can find 2.5.4 all day long but not 3. If there answer is yes, please include the location in the answer.

Answer 1

You can get the milestones and release candidates from Spring's Maven repository. The repository is difficult to browse, but the files are there, e.g. the spring-core 3.0.0.RC1 pom

Here is an example repository declaration and dependency:

<repositories>
 <repository>
  <id>springsource maven repo</id>
  <url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone&lt;/url&gt;
 </repository>
</repositories>

...
<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0.RC1</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Answer 2

Since the question was asked, the Spring Enterprise Bundle Repository has been put online and is easier to browse.

Browse by Library, and then by Spring Framework, and you'll find what you're looking for.

<repository>  
  <id>com.springsource.repository.bundles.release</id>  
  <name>SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository - SpringSource Bundle Releases</name>  
  <url>http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/release&lt;/url&gt; 
</repository>
...
<dependency>  
  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>  
  <artifactId>org.springframework.core</artifactId>  
  <version>3.0.2.RELEASE</version> 
</dependency>
