where can I get springs source code?

Hm, trying to find the spring framework's source code download, but can't!

Can someone help me out?

BTW, what exactly are the benefits of going with more commercial version of spring?

Older source code (version 2 and before) is available in zip files downloadable from http://sourceforge.net/projects/springframework/files/springframework/.

You can check out or browse the source from Spring's CVS or Subversion (both obsolete) GitHub site.

As far as the commercial version of Spring, I believe it provides you with support and access to patches quicker. Its all detailed on their product page.

  • If you downloaded a bundle from the SpringSource website, it contains sources (under src).
  • Or you could just checkout sources from their public repository.
  • But if you just want to browse them, then Fisheye might be more appropriate.
  • Lots of site like kickjava.com or docjar.com also have sources online.
  • And, if you are using Maven, sources jar are available in the central repository (most IDEs allow to download them in one click).

Source is already included in the normal Spring download. Check the /dist folder after you unzip it.
