I’ve downloaded and installed the latest spring toolkit on eclipse helios via the update site. According to the spring website the toolkit contains “everything” needed to develop a spring app. All the spring imports are not found such as –
import org.springframework.format.annotation.DateTimeFormat;
Compile error given is = “The import org.springframework cannot be resolved”
When I create a new spring project I would have thought all spring dependencies would have been added to my build path automatically, but checking project properties this does not seem to be the case. Do I need to explicitly add the required libraries and if so should they be available as part of the spring toolkit ?
The required jars are available from http://www.springsource.com/download/community For spring3.1 their in spring-framework-3.1.0.RELEASE.zip
