Is this project dead ? #36

Closed NargiT closed 7 years ago

NargiT commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I would like to know if the project is still maintained and if so, why I cannot find it in spring.io ?

Thx for answers

As you can see from the commit log, it's not dead. It just doesn't get any more attention as it's a rather tiny library with a very special focus. It's heavily used inside Spring (Data) projects and as far as we know in a couple of user applications directly.

Due to its strong focus, there's not too much to be done about it except casual maintenance or — as I am currently about to do — some upgrades to lift it to new generations of Java, Spring Framework etc.

All right, I asked that because the project is not comming with the bom maven dependency.

odrotbohm commented 7 years ago

Which BOM are you referring to? Spring Plugin is included in Spring Boot's dependency management, AFAIR.

this one

This is Spring Framework. Note that Spring Plugin resides in a different group (org.springframework.plugin), just as all other related projects do (HATEOAS, Data, Integration, Boot).
