Springsource released in December new major version of the Spring support. We should probably replace quite obsolete binary 2.5.6 with the newest one 4.0.1 if possible.
I had prepared that change, but there is pretty big complication. Three packages of Spring 2.5.6 are exposed as public packages so the JAR removal leads to incompatible change. I contacted jtulach and tstupka with request for some additional information but I'm not sure whether we will be able to do that change before Beta branching.
Created attachment 143626 [details] patch for the replacement This is patch which should remove the obsolete 2.5.6 and replace it with the version 4.0. I'm going to integrate it immediately after applying the reviewed patch.
Patch for replacement from 2.5.6 to 4.0.0 integrated in web-main #2635ae39dfa9. I'm keeping opened this issue until I'll do the final upgrade from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 which is not released yet.
Removed Spring MVC 2.5.6 in web-main #563d2e610ce7.
Ok, the final step was update 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 which was released yesterday. Done in web-main #18321697bf50. Since all parts of this task are completed, I'm closing the issue as fixed.
Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201402010001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/18321697bf50 User: Martin Fousek <marfous@netbeans.org> Log: #239612 and #239114 - updated Spring libraries to 3.2.7 and 4.0.1
