After reading over a guide, do you need Gradle or Maven build steps? No problem! Just click on the…

Spring Security OAuth 2.0.3 is available now in all the usual Maven repositories. It's a bug fix release, nothing major, so upgrading from 2.0.x should be painless (and is recommended).

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the new release of our Eclipse-based tooling today: The Spring Tool Suite (STS) 3.6.1 and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) 3.6.1.

Highlights from this release include:

• updated to tc Server 3.0.0

To download the distributions, please go visit:
