You can also obtain GA versions of Spring Framework artifacts from https://repo.spring.io/release.
For more in-depth information about Spring repositories, see the [[Spring Artifactory]] page.
## Downloading a Distribution
If for whatever reason you are not using a build system with dependency management capabilities, you can download Spring Framework _distribution zips_ from the Spring repository at <https://repo.spring.io>. These distributions contain all source and binary jar files, as well as Javadoc and reference documentation, but _do not_ contain external dependencies!
To create a distribution with all dependencies locally you can build from source. See [[Build Zip with Dependencies]] for details.
