spring-batch-integration 1.2.2 not compatible with spring-batch 2.2.2

Question

I have an spring batch project which was working fine old version:

• spring 3.1.2.RELEASE
• spring-batch 2.1.9.RELEASE
• spring-batch-integration 1.2.0.RELEASE

It stopped working when I upgraded version of all dependencies new versions:

• spring 3.2.5.RELEASE
• spring-batch 2.2.2.RELEASE
• spring-batch-integration 1.2.2.RELEASE

Application log says:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.integration.config.ServiceAct ivatorFactoryBean#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/batch/retry/RetryException

The retry functionality was pulled out of Spring Batch as of 2.2.0. It is now part of a new library, Spring Retry. but spring-batch-integration refers to older spring-batch and causing this error. class ChunkProcessorChunkHandler have import statement import org.springframework.batch.retry.RetryException;

I want to know how to overcome this error? and is there any plan for new version of spring-batch-integration.

We currently have a milestone for 1.3.0 that is available and should work with the 2.2.x branch. We're still working on timing for the 1.3.0 GA release.
