Superceded

Please note that this project has effectively been superceeded by an official Spring project.

If you've ever created a moderately complex project which uses Spring, you've likely come across issues having to manage versions of Spring transitive dependencies.

Your project uses Spring Integration 3.0.1.RELEASE, but something else you're depending on imports some otherwise unused Spring Integration module, at 3.0.0.RELEASE.

You end up declaring a dependencyManagement entry for just about every Spring Integration module there is, to ensure that anything you bring in uses the correct version.

Enter spring-integration-version

<project>
  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.ptomli.spring-integration-version</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-integration-version</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.1.RELEASE</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>
</project>

spring-integration-version simply declares a dependencyManagement entry for each Spring Integration module, at its own project.version. So, spring-integration-version 3.0.1.RELEASE will result in any Spring Integration transitive dependency being imported at 3.0.1.RELEASE. Done, finished and klaar!

There are companion projects to handle other SpringSource project versions, such as spring-version and spring-security-version
