Figure A-17. Creating a simple Spring utility project
STS will create the project. STS template projects are all generated according to Maven's standard
project folder structure, and they use Maven for dependency management. Spring and Maven natures
are automatically added to the project, as shown in Figure A-18.
Figure A-18. A simple Spring utility project
After project creation, we need to update the configuration generated by STS. For example, at the
time of this writing, the generated project will use Spring Framework 3.0.6.RELEASE and JDK 5 by
default. Let's change the project to use Spring Framework 3.1.0.RELEASE and JDK 6, respectively.
Double-click the pom.xml file, and in the editor, click the pom.xml tab and edit the configuration, as
shown in Figure A-19.
