1、下载源码

• download and install GitHub 
• create local directory to store source files , for example d:\spring4
• execute following commands:

cd d:\spring4

git clone git://github.com/SpringSouce/Spring-framework.git

cd d:\spring4-security

git clone git://github.com/SpringSouce/Spring-security.git

其他版本的下载地址:https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/tags

2、准备eclipse项目（必须以管理员身份运行命令行）

cd d:\spring4

import-into-eclipse

3、错误处理

• can not resolve services.gradle.org … download failed….

edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts , add following configuration to the tail:

207.223.250.8services.gradle.org

• Could not GET ‘https://repo.spring.io/…

download the file mannually or try once more

u can copy file to gradle local cache

the gradle local cache directory is :C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.gradle\caches

for example , if the error is 

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ‘:spring-context:compile’.
> Could not download artifact ‘jruby-core.jar (org.jruby:jruby-core:1.7.19)’
   > Could not GET ‘https://repo.spring.io/libs-release/org/jruby/jruby-core/1.7
.19/jruby-core-1.7.19.jar’.
      > d29vzk4ow07wi7.cloudfront.net

u can copy the url to browser : https://repo.spring.io/libs-release/org/jruby/jruby-core/1.7.19/jruby-core-1.7.19.jar

u will find the redirect url in thunder :

u should copy the file name  2d034d7407a91994b45338e5dd1821faea534e84

make the dir in cache as follows :

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\org.jruby\jruby-core\1.7.19\2d034d7407a91994b45338e5dd1821faea534e84

copy the downloaded file (jruby-core-1.7.19.jar) 

re-execute the command : import-into-eclipse
