Is there a maven 2 archetype for spring 3 MVC applications?
You can use STS (spring tool suite) a new spring MVC template project creates a working application using spring 3.
Or you can using Spring Roo to give a working foundation to your project.
I also couldn't find useful archetypes, so I have created my own. You can find it here. If you find anything you'd like to add, please don't hesitate to mail me or send a patch
Spring MVC quickstart archetype is available on GitHub, courtesy of kolorobot. Good instructions are provided on how to install it to your local Maven repo and use it to create a new Spring MVC project. He’s even helpfully included the Tomcat 7 Maven plugin in the archetypical project so that the newly created Spring MVC can be run from the command line without having to manually deploy it to an application server.
Kolorobot’s example application includes the following:
- No-xml Spring MVC 3.2 web application for Servlet 3.0 environment
- Apache Tiles with configuration in place,
- Bootstrap
- JPA 2.0 (Hibernate/HSQLDB)
- JUnit/Mockito
- Spring Security 3.1
