You can still see and install Spring-related packages in your package manager after that, right? That ought to be the case.
It's basically a matter of being able to verify that those packages were created by the person you think/are told created them -- namely, the one who owns the public key that you don't have.
If you don't want to see that error every time you update your package lists, you'll need to manually add the maintainer's GPG key using something like
wget -O- KEYURL | sudo apt-key add -
(with KEYURL replaced with the actual URL of the key file). The key URL isn't listed in the install instructions, unfortunately.

you have to provide the fingerprint of the key with the command!
for example: FC66403D8670A035 (copy and paste it from the error message)
Why dont you find anything? Is the repo active? The appropriate box must be checked (in the sources manager)

I've came across the same problem.
running the following commands fixed it.
Code: Select all
gpg --keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys FC66403D8670A035 41A58AF1BE5372EB
gpg -a --export FC66403D8670A035 | sudo apt-key add -
gpg -a --export 41A58AF1BE5372EB | sudo apt-key add -
