Building from Source
The Spring Framework uses a Gradle-based build system. In the instructions
below, ./gradlew is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as
a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build.
Prerequisites
Git and JDK 8 update 20 or later
Be sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the jdk1.8.0 folder
extracted from the JDK download.
Check out sources
git clone git@github.com:spring-projects/spring-framework.git
Import sources into your IDE
Run ./import-into-eclipse.sh or read import-into-idea.md as appropriate.
Note: Per the prerequisites above, ensure that you have JDK 8 configured properly in your IDE.
Install all spring-* jars into your local Maven cache
./gradlew install
Compile and test; build all jars, distribution zips, and docs
./gradlew build
... and discover more commands with ./gradlew tasks. See also the Gradle
build and release FAQ.
