The current GA release is 1.1.4.RELEASE, the latest snapshots are 2.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT.
There are ZIP based artifacts that contain the release JARs. There are two ZIP files in the release. The first zip file is called spring-batch-*-no-dependencies.zip. This file contains only the JAR files for the release. The second zip file is called spring-batch-*-with-dependencies.zip. This file contains the JAR files for the release as well as all of the third-party dependencies for the release. In addition, this release contains the Spring Batch source code including the samples and their third-party dependencies as well.
Final releases are published on Maven central repo, and also in our s3 repository, browseable here:
<repository>
<id>spring-s3</id>
<name>Spring Portfolio Maven RELEASE Repository</name>
<url>http://s3.amazonaws.com/maven.springframework.org/release</url>
</repository>
You can see the internal and external project dependencies in the spring-batch-*/*.pom files and also in the dependency reports for each module on this website. You will probably need spring-batch-core and spring-batch-infrastructure. Source code is packaged in a separate jar file in the same directory, and the samples are also bundled in the same way.
Individual dependencies can then by added like so (inside a <dependencies> element at the top level):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.batch</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-batch-core</artifactId>
<version>1.1.4</version>
</dependency>
The Core module has dependencies on Infrastructure, so you only need to include that to build and run jobs with Spring Batch. I.e.
These builds are provided for evaluation and community feedback. Spring Batch builds have a release identifier ending in "mX" where X is the milestone number, or "rcX" for a release candidate.
You can find the .ZIP downloads of the milestones here.
Milestones and snapshots Maven artifacts are also published in s3, but not in Maven central repo. You can browse the repository with a web browser. To use them, just add the following repository to your POM (inside a <repositories> element at the top level):
<repository>
<id>spring-s3</id>
<name>Spring Portfolio Maven MILESTONE Repository</name>
<url>http://s3.amazonaws.com/maven.springframework.org/milestone</url>
</repository>
Nightly snapshots are also available through the same process with slightly different URLs. See here for details.
