Spring aggregated jar

Question

Is there a jar file somewhere that aggregates all the small jars in Spring 3.0.6 distribution, like the one that I know exists for Jetty?

Answer 1

You mean like the old spring-full.jar(<2.0) and spring.jar(<3.0)? One jar with everything.

I think they stopped it as spring eco system is so large now, so if they included everything it would be huge. And most of it not needed.

Don't know a ready made solution nor a non maven solution.

You could however roll your own maven pom project that only depends on the core jars you need. Still multiple jars though as in a normal parent pom dependecy.

Or create a maven assembly that assembles all the jars content into one.
