How do you create a Spring MVC project in Eclipse?

JavaEclipseSpringSpring MvcEclipse Plugin

Java Problem Overview

I am trying to follow the basic tutorial for Spring MVC but got lost at creating a new project in Eclipse.
It seems to me that most tutorials assume you know how to create a Spring Project in Eclipse.
Any advice on where to get started or tutorials which explain how to set up Eclipse would be appreciated.

Java Solutions

Solution 1 - Java

You want to create a "Dynamic Web Project". Follow the steps here: Spring MVC Tutorial with Eclipse and Tomcat.

Also, here is the Eclipse documentation for Dynamic Web Projects: http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.wst.webtools.doc.user/topics/ccwebprj.html

Solution 2 - Java

Download Spring STS (SpringSource Tool Suite) and choose Spring Template Project from the Dashboard. This is the easiest way to get a preconfigured spring mvc project, ready to go.

Solution 3 - Java

You don't necessarily have to create a Spring project. Almost all Java web applications have he same project structure. In almost every project I create, I automatically add these source folder:

  • src/main/java
  • src/main/resources
  • src/test/java
  • src/test/resources
  • src/main/webapp*

src/main/webapp isn't actually a source folder. The web.xml file under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF will allow you to run your java application on any Java enabled web server (Tomcat, Jetty, etc.). I typically add the Jetty Plugin to my POM (assuming you use Maven), and launch the web app in development using mvn clean jetty:run.

Solution 4 - Java

This is the easiest way :

step 1) install Spring Tool Suite (STS) for eclipse (version 3.7.0RELEASE or above) To do this you can go to Help >> eclipse market place , then type Spring Tool suite in search box.

step 2) now go to file >> new >> spring project as shown in the image below enter image description here

step 3)now choose the template as "spring MVC Project" and give a name to your project on the top as shown below ( I named it 'SpringProject') enter image description here

step 4)now give a base package name like this enter image description here

and that is . The project will be created in a few minutes and Now you can right click on it and run on server.

Solution 5 - Java

  1. step 1: create a new "Dynamic Web Project" in eclipse.
  2. step 2: right click on the created project.
  3. step 3: click on "configure" option.
  4. step 4: click on "convert to maven project".
