Is there a public Maven repository that contains spring-core 3 yet?

java, maven-2, spring

Solution

You can get the milestones and release candidates from Spring's Maven repository. The repository is difficult to browse, but the files are there, e.g. the spring-core 3.0.0.RC1 pom

Here is an example repository declaration and dependency:

<repositories>
 <repository>
  <id>springsource maven repo</id>
  <url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone</url>
 </repository>
</repositories>

...
<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0.RC1</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>
