java.beans package again
The Springframework does not work in Android because of its heavy use of classes from java.beans package e.g. PropertyEditorSupport. Android currently only supports a few classes from java.beans package. I already filed feature request to support more classes from java.beans package in the Android bugtracker. Of course one can use classes from libraries of the Springframework in general e.g. org.springframework.core.io.DefaultResourceLoader.
