Last October, at SpringOne2GX, I introduced the Spring Scala project to the world. Since then, I've also presented this project at Devoxx. In this blog post, I would like to give further details about this project and how you can use it in your Scala projects.

Why Spring Scala?

Obviously, you can use the (Java) Spring Framework in Scala today, without Spring Scala. But doing so will be awkward in certain places. Just like any programming language, Scala has its own, different way of doing things, and using a pure Java framework like Spring in Scala will just feel "too Java-esque". Spring Scala tries to fix…

Dear Spring Community,

We are happy to announce the release of Spring for Android 1.0.1!

Spring for Android is an extension of the Spring Framework that aims to simplify the development of native Android applications.

This release adds support for Jackson 2.x in RestTemplate through the new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter. It also addresses several bugs and compatibility issues with RestTemplate and Android Jelly Bean. See the changelog and reference manual for more information.

To retrieve the software, download the release distribution, or add the maven artifacts to your project. Sample apps are available at github.com/SpringSource/spring-android-samples

If you are building an Android app, we encourage you try out Spring for Android 1.0.1 and collaborate with us on the next iteration of the project.

We gave a talk on IOC + Javascript at SpringOne 2GX. Front-end web application architecture seemed to be quite a hot topic at the conference, in general, and our talk seemed to be very well received. Here are the video and slides from the talk.

We'll also be starting a blog series about architectural patterns for modern Javascript web apps, featuring posts from members of SpringSource's new front-end architecture team, S2JS. The posts will expand on the concepts presented in our talk, as well as those presented by Scott Andrews and Jeremy Grelle in their talks.

The first post in the series is coming next week. Until then, we hope you enjoy the video and the slides.  If you'd like to get a head start, you can browse the demo app's source code…

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the first milestone release 3.2.0.M1 of the Spring Tool Suite (STS) and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS).

Highlights from this milestone build include:

• overall performance improvements
• updated to tc Server 2.8.1
• improvements to Live Beans Graph feature
• updated for Spring Integration 2.2
• compilation times for AspectJ projects with AJDT have been improved (reduced!)

Both tool suites ship on top of the latest Eclipse Juno SR1 from September 2012. As soon as the performance work on the Eclipse Juno SR2 release is ready to be consumed, we will update to that version. In the meantime, we recommend to use the STS and GGTS versions on top of Eclipse 3.8.1.

The second milestone 3.2.0.M2 build is scheduled for late January 2013, followed by the 3.2.0 release in…
