As some of you will have noticed already, Spring 2.5 RC1 has finally been released on Monday and is waiting for you to give it a test drive! Spring 2.5 is in many ways the release that completes Spring 2.0's mission: providing the most flexible and most comprehensive configuration model for both Java 1.4 and Java 5. Spring 2.5 focuses on particularly comprehensive support for Java 5, introducing various further annotations options. I'd like to take the opportunity to point out the unifying themes behind this release

more spring bloat

Previous posts are stupid: Spring is a library, not an application framework. It's up to the application it's included in to adopt conventions, if appropriate. Grails is one example that does this really well and uses spring. All tools that take the convention over configuration approach use generation to produce the library configuration to exploit the structure of the higher level use cases. And saying Spring is bloated makes you sound stupid to people who have looked in dist/modules and seen what "a la carte" framework means: take what you need, leave the rest.
