Spring Mobile

Spring Mobile is an extension of the Spring Framework and Spring Web MVC that aims to simplify the development of mobile web applications.

Features

• A device resolver abstraction for server-side detection of mobile and tablet devices

• Site preference management that allows the user to indicate if he or she prefers a "normal", "mobile", or "tablet" experience

• A site switcher capable of switching the user to the most appropriate site, either mobile, tablet, or normal, based on his or her device and optionally indicated site preference

• Device aware view management for organizing and managing different views for specific devices

Build from Source

1. Clone the repository from GitHub:

   $ git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-mobile.git

2. Navigate into the cloned repository directory:

   $ cd spring-mobile

3. The project uses Gradle to build:

   $ ./gradlew build

4. Install jars into your local Maven cache (optional)

   $ ./gradlew install

Import Source into your IDE

Eclipse

1. To generate Eclipse metadata (.classpath and .project files):

   $ ./gradlew eclipse

2. Once complete, you may then import the projects into Eclipse as usual:

   File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace
   

Note: Spring Tool Suite has built in support for Gradle, and you can simply import as Gradle projects.

IDEA
