Spring and Eclipse/Exadel

[inkimar]

Hello!


Downloaded the new Exadel.
Wanting to get started with the Spring IDE.

Following a book from apress on the subject, seems that I have
to figure out the coupling to Exadel and Spring IDE by myself.
Is the Spring IDE not as well written as the Struts IDE which I
have used in Exadel.

This is what I have done:
created a Spring project.
Did fetch the springframework.
Importing all the jars necessary ( is one not able to get the libraries instead,
do not want to see all these jars ( i can ofcourse use the filter), not sure
which jars I should get)

And now I am a bit stuck with adding beans in my beans.xml.

anyone out there who can give me a step by step here,
creating a small project which can serve as a template for other
spring projects created with exadel.

regards, i:confused:

Following a book from apress on the subject, seems that I have to figure out the coupling to Exadel and Spring IDE by myself.
For this case Exadel provides an explanation (http://exadel.com/exadelstudio/help/springEditor.html) as a starter.


Is the Spring IDE not as well written as the Struts IDE which I have used in Exadel.
Spring IDE is an open source project with a certain feature set (http://springide.org/project/wiki/SpringideFeatures) and Exadel's shipping a specific version of Spring IDE with their product. So I'm not sure what you're refering to by stating "not as well written as".


And now I am a bit stuck with adding beans in my beans.xml.
Spring IDE provides some help here, e.g. by providing an XML editor (http://springide.org/project/wiki/BeansXmlEditor) and a validator (http://springide.org/project/wiki/BeansConfigValidator) which "know" a little bit about Spring BeanConfig (http://springide.org/project/wiki/BeansConfig) files.

Well my post was not to be seen to be a criticism of the Spring IDE
nor how it is implemented in Exadel.
One gets used to a mindset, mine comes from Struts and how
to build Struts application in Exadel, and I just cannot grab the Spring IDE
in Exadel.

Hopefully this will turn out just fine, would be nice though to have a step-by-step guide in eclipse/exadel on how to use the Spring IDE in most efficient way for us novices - would like to get it right from the beginning.
