Abstract
This chapter presents a high-level overview of a few projects that are part of the Spring portfolio, notably Spring Batch, Integration, XD, and a few notable features added in Spring Framework version 5. This chapter is not intended to cover each project in detail but to provide just enough information and a sample to get you started. The Spring portfolio contains many more projects than the ones discussed in this chapter, but we feel the ones presented here are widely used, and some are new and upcoming projects. You can view the full list of Spring projects at http://spring.io/projects . This chapter covers the following topics

The intention was for Spring 5 to be fully compatible with Java 9, but as its release is about 18 months late already, the Spring team decided to stick with Java 8. However, Java 9 is planned to be released in September 2017, and release 5.x probably will be fully integrated with it.

You might remember that the project setup was done in such a way to avoid Commons Logging because of its problematic runtime discovery algorithm; You can read about this on Spring’s official reference page at https//docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/htmlsingle/#overview-avoiding-commons-logging.
