Where can I find Spring 4 OSGi bundles

Question

Where can I find OSGi bundles for Spring 4? I checked http://ebr.springsource.com/ but can only find Spring 3.2.x and the artifacts in Maven Central are not bundles.

Answer 1

Spring will NOT support any further releases as OSGi bundles. The official support has been stopped with spring 3.2.4 (although you could find 3.2.5 artifacts here, contradicting the statement made in the Eclipse Forum)

Glyn Normington from Spring source acknowledged that in several places, see here:

• on Twitter
• Eclipse Forum

However, there is hope. On the Karaf - dev list, one can read that they intend to support spring libraries in the ServiceMix project. Details in the entire thread see here.
