I found this maven
repo where you could download from directly a zip
file containing all the jars you need.
The solution I prefer is using Maven
, it is easy and you don't have to download each jar
alone. You can do it with the following steps:
Create an empty folder anywhere with any name you prefer, for example spring-source
Create a new file named pom.xml
Copy the xml below into this file
Open the spring-source
folder in your console
Run mvn install
After download finished, you'll find spring jars in /spring-source/target/dependencies

Also, if you need to download any other spring project, just copy the dependency
configuration from its corresponding web page.
For example, if you want to download Spring Web Flow
jars, go to its web page, and add its dependency
configuration to the pom.xml
dependencies
, then run mvn install
again.
