[xbean-dev] minimum spring version

[Dan Diephouse]

Hi all,
Is there a minimum required version of Spring for XBean to work? Does it
only work with 1.2.4 or do will it work with 1.2.x?
Cheers

Also, what do people think of creating a spring+xbean jar? Currently
using xbean requires my users to download 4 more jars... xbean,
spring-core, spring-beans, spring-context...

I think the m2 assembly plugin could be used to do this???

BTW before m2 I've been using xbean-spring-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar fine;  
though the move to m2 might have made us more coupled than we might be.

It should work with 1.2.x though its not been tested yet on anything  
else other than 1.2.4. There could well have been some minor changes  
in the spring XML parser since 1.2 that we might be dependant on; so  
I'd recommend using 1.2.4 or later if you can.

I think I might not have been clear. I was thinking about making one
single jar that contained both xbean-spring, spring-core, spring-beans,
and spring-context - all the deps necessary to use xbean-spring.
Prevents jar hell for users who aren't using maven. WDYT?

The m2 assembly plugin can easily do this.  We just need to have an  
exact packing list for the jar.

I'll try to get something started later today.

It's certainly easy enough to do with the assembly plug-in.

Great. I think my spring dependency list should be OK, but YMMV. Of
course depending on how you're using things, other spring jars might be
necessary like spring-aop. And at that point it almost makes sense to
included all the spring stuff...
