Question

I tried to make project by selecting Archtype Web Application from Eclipse create new maven project. But when I created a new java Class to project sources folder, it didn’t contain packacge name in package and source folder was included in class path. So is there something wrong with my setup or why doesn’t Eclipse add automatically package to newly created Class?

Answer 1

This is what I do:

• Using m2eclipse plugin for Maven integration and m2eclipse WTP integration (from m2eclipse extras update site).
• Create new maven project using archetype: maven-archetype-webapp.
• Create src/main/java folder and add to build path manually.
• Add spring and spring-webmvc dependencies. For 2.5.6.SEC01 version use:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.6.SEC01</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.6.SEC01</version>
</dependency>

• Develop a Spring MVC application step by step.
