Spring Framework 5.1 on JDK 8 and 11
summary
Spring Framework 5.1 standardizes on a JDK 8 baseline, using Java 8 features (default methods, functional interfaces, streams) while adding explicit support for JDK 11. It introduces programmatic component registration with Supplier-based registration, new ObjectProvider APIs that can be used as a stream to select multiple beans, and first-class Kotlin support; migration advice includes compiling application classes for Java 8 compatibility and considering JLink or GraalVM to create smaller runtimes.
