spring 3.0.5 library jars

Question

All, I am starting with Spring and got the Spring 3.0.5 distribution. I see the following jars:

• org.springframework.aop-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
• org.springfr

Answer 1

I'd go with Maven. Even if you can't use it in your project, you can either create a dummy project with it, or see the spring jar dependencies.

With Maven, you just add the jars you need: -orm, -aop, -webmvc (missing from your list), and maven fetches all the other jars that are required.
