title: Spring - Where to find the distribution jar files?
body: <p>I will be starting to learn spring so I tried to download the latest sping version but I have encountered a problem and Im stuck. I can't find the distribution jar files. All I can see are java source files.</p>
  
  <p>Here are the steps I did : </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I went to this link <a href="http://spring.io/projects" rel="nofollow">projects</a></li>
  <li>I clicked the <a href="http://projects.spring.io/spring-framework/" rel="nofollow">Spring Framework</a> link.</li>
  <li>I checked the page and found nothing until I noticed the <a href="http://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework" rel="nofollow">Cat Image</a></li>
  <li>Download the zip and extracted it.</li>
  <li>I checked the folder <code>spring-core</code> and found <code>src</code> folder. I tried to find any <code>dist</code> folder but found nothing except java files.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I did not bother to open all folders because I think it would be a waste of time.
  Please help me. Im just starting to learn and now a bit frustrated.</p>
