Spring 2.5 and the runtime paradigm shift
I just finished reading up on the new features of Spring 2.5 and I have to say I'm pretty excited. One thing that bothered me from the start of the Spring project has always been the need for xml wiring of components. No matter what you do in Spring land, you will have to create at least a minimal stub of xml in your config files to make your component known to Spring. And now, the freshly released 2.5 version of Spring is reaping the benefits of annotation driven development and completely does away with that.
