This bean is redefined in all the context files. Suggestion - externalized this bean definition into its own context file and do the bean import in other contexts that require it

I've been trying to get 2.8 to run for several days... Im not a java developer... I'm setting this up for a DBA and I keep running into this error...

27-Sep-2017 14:28:43.296 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log StandardWrapper.Throwable
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Context namespace element 'component-scan' and its parser class [org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser] are only available on JDK 1.5 and higher

after digging around I figured out it had to do with some spring jar files not supporting java 1.8 but I can not figure out how to get around it.... any ideas???

In open source communities contributors will use different editors or IDEs, or just different versions of the same IDE. Even those who use the same IDE might prefer vastly different project configurations. When users customize these settings it shows up as noise in >git status, and there's a danger that one user's preferences might be committed accidentally, overriding the existing setup.

We used to include these files with the uPortal project, but (after discussion and consideration) removed them several months ago. IDE setup should be left to individual preference.

It would be great if SSP can offer its content in languages and formats tailored to the audience.
