Getting started with Spring + Maven

[ejeklint]

OK, so I'm a newbie on Maven and Spring and appreciates some inititial guidelines on how to set up a new Maven-handled Spring Web project. Are there any special directory layouts to consider? Are there any special spring-related templates for Maven out there?

I have done some tutorials, installed Maven successfully etc., but now I want to get started with a "real" project and want as good initial setup as possible. Will deploy on Tomcat, and I'm developing on Mac OS X.

All input is appreciated!

I suggest you to take a look at Acegi Security System for Spring or ONess for a more complex project.

Thanks Carlos! I'll dig into it. Maybe it's best to start with acegi, since oness is a bit more complex.

I was hoping to find a Maven template for spring projects but this will do.

One source for project templates from webtide. Check out:

Look for the Spring archetypes.
