This new code base was developed by merging best ideas of both of above projects plus some new ideas such as component scanning for JSR 181 beans, personally I believe scratch project is much cleaner and more close to Spring practices so better to use this code as you initial code base. Please refer following thread[3] if you haven't find it yet, also following wiki page [4] may helpful. BTW can you create a JIRA issue here[5] so that I can add more content there ?
