2. Requirements and Supported Environments

This chapter covers the build and runtime requirements for Spring Framework 3.0.

2.1 Java 5 and Java 6

The entire code base is updated to take advantage of Java 5 code style and features (generics, varargs, StringBuilder, and so on.)

Any application that uses Spring Framework 3.0 must use Java 5 or later. Spring requires Java 6 for building the code base of the Framework but Java 5 is sufficient for building and running applications that use Spring 3.0.
