Spring 1.2 / Annotations

[mattinger]

Is there any cvs branch/tag which i can use to get the 1.2 code from CVS? I was wondering in particular if using annotations as the source of validation configuration is available yet in 1.2 development.

Take a look at the CVS on SF.net: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p..._with_tag=HEAD
Right now there isn't any branch created for 1.2, just get the HEAD from the CVS and look into the sandbox.

Also, is there any available list of features / changes which are planned for 1.2, as well as a potential release schedule?

[Costin Leau]

The team can answer better this question but AFAIK, 1.2 release is scheduled for the end of March and the main 'attractions' are:
- Hibernate 3 integration
- JMX support
- Enums (I think)

Here's the 1.2 and 1.3 features I gathered during talks at TSSS:

The only annotation support currently planned for 1.2 is for Transaction demarcation. That's currently found in a module in CVS called 'samples', with a specific project called 'tiger', parallel to the main 'spring' module.

I will give a crisp, clean Dollar Bill to any Spring admin who posts 1.2RC1..... like right now.


.... how about now.... ?

Alright, I'll add a shiny, golden Sacagawea dollar coin to the pot.

How about NOW?

1.2 RC1 will be early next week. You could try the nightly build. Hibernate 3 and JMX are already in there in the main source tree. Not yet TopLink (another new feature, but we're waiting on a code donation from Oracle) or annotations, which is still in a separate module.

Note that most of the sandbox code (for example, JMX stuff) which is going to be in 1.2 has already been moved over.
