Details about Github repository spring-project/spring-framework - spring

What's the purpose of spring-project/spring-framework repository in GitHub?
How to run this applications using eclipse?

This is where Spring Framework source code is hosted.
If you want to start using Spring, you don't need their Github repository, I'd recommend starting at their official site: https://projects.spring.io/spring-framework/ There you can find the documentation, description of the subprojects that comprise Spring Framework, as well as instructions of how to use it. There is an example on their main page.
If you want to build an application, you could take a look at Spring Boot: https://projects.spring.io/spring-boot/ The site, again, contains documentation, guides, examples and so on.
Here you can find information on how to run your Spring Boot application in Eclipse: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/using-boot-running-your-application.html
They have their own IDE based on Eclipse: https://spring.io/tools/sts
And if you want to rebuild Spring from source or (more likely) learn how it works, then its Github repo will be useful for you.

How to initlaize HTTP API to in spring boot and kotlin

I am trying to know how to integrate spring boot with kotlin project. I am refering to this link:
https://spring.io/guides/tutorials/spring-boot-kotlin/
however, it demands using the following link
https://start.spring.io/#!language=kotlin&type=gradle-project
to integrate kotlin and gradle
and this link:
https://docs.spring.io/initializr/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#command-line
to Initializr HTTP API
however the last link is not working and actually it is not clear why i should use it.
the question is, how can i use such link as it is down, is there any alternative??
The best way to do this is entering https://start.spring.io/ and selecting the needs of your project.
If you already know Spring, it's a very good way to start. And don't need gradle to run, this can be done with maven too.

how to write a code for database connection from eclipse using spring. This should be a simple spring maven project without using spring boot

I am new to spring. I am not able to figure out how to write a spring project for creating DB connection using maven , without using spring -boot or hibernate. it is supposed to be a simple spring maven project.
can you help me with few sample codes.
Install the Spring tools suite plugin for eclipse from the following link.
With spring tools suite, access the spring dashboard
Select the Import Reference App, this will provide several example applications from the Spring guides, choose the example and the example will be installed onto your eclipse workspace. These examples are well documented , with clear instructions on how to run the project. Hopefully this should help you get started with learning Spring framework.

Spring boot + Activiti explorer

Is it possible to integrate activiti explorer maven plugin with activiti Spring boot app?, so that we can make use of activit-explorer to view deployed process in activit-spring boot engine.
I know we can use rest-api over spring boot to query process engine, but I want to know if it is possible to run the explorer over spring boot by adding it as a maven plugin during deployment?Or can we tweak the activit-explorer.war somehow to point to spring-boot activiti engine?
activiti-explorer.war is standalone webapp by itself. I've write some guideline on how to manually to embed activiti-explorer to you own app. http://blog.canang.com.my/2016/05/12/embedding-activiti-explorer-to-your-application/
Most probably step 5 in my blog is your solution.
btw, there's reason why the name is 'default'. I can't recall it atm
I thought of answering my own question so that it will be useful for other developers with similar requirement. If you want to make an eco-system where activiti-rest, explorer and your custom end points co-exist, please refer this thread from activit forum. I have tried this and is working fine. link to thread
I would like to give my observation here. In order to avoid getting into pulling source and trying to build myself, I achieved partial success, by installing the activit-explorer as part of the usual standalone installation.Started the standalone activiti-explorer using Apache-Tomcat but I configured the database for Activiti as same as (MYSQL in my case) I used in my spring-boot application to hit the common ground.
But apparently the activiti version in my spring boot app was 5.19.0.0 and that for activiti-explorer was 5.22.0.0, which created some misalignment for spring boot application startup to fail. I am hopeful that with matching versions it might succeed. When I get some more time on me I will try and update. Since then may be someone can use this route.

Canot Download Spring MVC jar files from spring official website

I am facing this issue since months. My aim is to download the spring mvc jar files so i visited the official link Spring Project . On the page you can see the option to download the spring framework based on the versions available , but the download link is not working.
Following link you can use to download spring release in which you are interested.
http://maven.springframework.org/release/org/springframework/spring/
I thank M.Deinum for pointing this out. One cannot directly download the jar files, instead will need to use dependency manager live maven etc.

Spring-security jars download manually

I am trying to write the spring security hello world example, I am searching for the spring security jars to download manually, I had look here Seems there is no way to download them manually. It shows the way to add dependency though Maven.
Please suggest official link from where I can download the spring-security jars.
This shows all the projects in spring
SPRING FRAMEWORK 3.1.2
You can find spring security Jars here http://repo.spring.io/release/org/springframework/security/spring-security for all version
If you want other components of spring i.e jar you can browse through the same link by removing /security/spring-security enter in browser bar and search for other respective index you want by version.
The repository at http://repo.spring.io is browseable and searchable. But really you should be using an automated dependency manager. What's the problem?
