Cannot find spring 4 maven artifact

Question

According to the springio documentation here I should be able to just cut and paste this...

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-framework</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.5.RELEASE</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

...into my maven pom, which I did, but it fails to resolve the version.

So I looked and found this and I added a proxy repository to my nexus for the [release] ( http://repo.spring.io/release ) repository but still failed to locate the artifact.

Then I navigated to the http://repo.spring.io/release repo and manually searched and CANNOT FIND the artifact.

So, where I am going wrong?

Answer 1

That's a mistake in the guide. Somewhere below it mentions "spring-context", so I believe that should have been:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Notice "spring-context" instead of "spring-framework". Github issue to have that fixed: Github issue .
