GA Release timeline?

[mgivney]

Folks,

I couldn't find any information about a GA release schedule for the complete JavaConfig project, is there one scheduled?

I noticed that a handful of JavaConfig features made it into Spring 3, but I couldn't find things like @ExternalBean...

Any timeline for when they will be released GA?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

There won't be a 1.0 GA release for the JavaConfig project. As you mentioned below, the core functionality has been moved into the core framework for 3.0.

@ExternalBean is no longer necessary in light of simply using @Autowired.

If there are other features that you're missing, feel free to ask about them here, or search for / add issues in JIRA.

Hi Chris,

One feature that seems to not have made it into Spring 3 is @ComponentScan. Is there an alternative way to do this in Spring 3 that I'm overlooking? If not, is this slated to be migrated from JavaConfig to Spring 3?
