Bryant Luk commented on WINK-300:
---------------------------------

I prefer option 2 as well unless anyone has an objection.

>             Project: Wink
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Spring
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
>            Reporter: Michael Elman
>            Priority: Minor

> Currently the spring-support module depends on the aggregated jar of 2.5.
> However, since 3.0, Spring doesn't provides an aggregated jar anymore. 
> So, when running with 3.0 and Wink, all spring jars must be specified and 2.5 aggregated jar must be excluded.
> There are two possible fixes:
> 1. Mark Spring dependency as 'provided'. This will eliminate the exclude, but will force to specify the spring dependency manually, which is ok, since none should be using the spring-support module without using spring by himself.
> 2. Specify the concrete dependency (spring-context, spring-core, anything else?) instead of the aggregated jar.
> Let me know what do you think about these options. Personally I prefer option 2 and also moving to Spring 3.0.
