Get Spring Boot sources

Spring Boot sources

Very often it is helpful for me to look into the Spring sources in order to understand how some internals work. Of course it is pretty simple to automatically download and view sources using IDE (like IntelliJ IDEA). But sometimes I need just plain source files.
I get these files using "Maven Dependency Plugin" and this pom.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Download source code into the target directory using this command:

mvn process-sources

Just add another dependencies if you need.
