Spring Batch 2.1.6.RELEASE is now available

[Dave Syer]

Hi,

Spring Batch 2.1.6.RELEASE is now available in the usual places (syncing to Central at some point in the next hour I hope).

This is a bug fix release for 2.1.5, with 21 issues resolved. There are some changes to the XSD (adding <listener/> elements in places they should have been but weren't). Quite a few bugs were to do with flat and XML file reading and writing - not showstoppers for most people, but always good to tidy them up.

Enjoy,

Dave.

Hi Dave,
thanks for the release, the listener changes helps us a lot. Would it also be possible to replace the schema on the webserver (http://www.springframework.org/schem...-batch-2.1.xsd)? The schema is still the old one.

Kind regards
Michael

Apparently we have to wait for an rsync to run. Check back in a couple of hours.

Can I use Spring Batch with Java 6?

The reference documentation states:
"The 1.x releases of Spring Batch were all based on Java 1.4. This prevented the framework from using many enhancements provided in Java 5 such as generics, parameterized types, etc. The entire framework has been updated to utilize these features."

And the Roadmap says:

"Spring Batch 2.0 is a Java 5 only release, using all available language features with no compromises for backward compatibility with Java 2"

This means that there could be issues using it with Java 6?

Thanks,
Ivan

No, it means 1.5 is a minimum requirement. Java 6 is significantly better.

Hi,

I just downloaded the spring batch 2.1.6 zip files, and using the instructions described in "With Maven and Eclipse", but the build failed because of
Missing artifact com.oracle.jdbc:com.springsource.oracle.jdbc:jar:1 0.2.0.2:runtime

Do I need to do something else to retrieve it?

Thanks

[Dave Syer]

Sorry, we had to remove that JAR from the Maven repository for license reasons. You can safely remove it from the POM as well, or you can install it if you have downloaded it yourself from Oracle. Note that there is a "bootstrap" profile for grabbing all the other weird dependencies, but it won't work with this one any more.

I am using maven3 and I had an issue getting this to work. I am not an expert on maven so forgive me if this is a newb or "doh" type of issue.
I have attached the full stack trace because it is longer than 10000 characters.

Thanks for your reply, I got it working.

[singletonm]

I have just installed the 2.1.6 release. We are migrating from 2.0.4 and are getting the following:
<code>
Description Resource Path Location Type
Could not calculate build plan: Missing:
----------
1) com.springsource.bundlor:com.springsource.bundlor. maven:maven-plugin:1.0.0.RELEASE

Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

Then, install it using the command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.springsource.bundlor -DartifactId=com.springsource.bundlor.maven -Dversion=1.0.0.RELEASE -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -Dfile=/path/to/file

Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.springsource.bundlor -DartifactId=com.springsource.bundlor.maven -Dversion=1.0.0.RELEASE -Dpackaging=maven-plugin -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
com.springsource.bundlor:com.springsource.bundlor. maven:maven-plugin:1.0.0.RELEASE

from the specified remote repositories:
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, releases=true, snapshots=false)
etl-mike-v4 Unknown Maven Problem

Can anyone point us to the solution for this problem?
