Springframework maven repository
You can obtain the spring artifacts from SpringSource repository or from maven central
1) The Enterprise Bundle Repository (EBR)
EBR use different naming conversion for their artifacts, if you’d like to use OSGI then choose the EBR where it compatible for all spring dependencies.
Different Between central maven and Enterprise Bundle Repository
The major difference between these 2 are the way to configure the pom’s <repository> without any configure on repository will obtain the
final release from maven central, else add the following repository to your project pom.xml file to obtain the final release from EBR
<repository>
<id>com.springsource.repository.bundles.release</id>
<name>EBR Spring Release Repository</name>
<url>http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/release</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>com.springsource.repository.bundles.external</id>
<name>EBR External Release Repository</name>
<url>http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/external</url>
</repository>
