Maven 3 Archetype for Project With Spring, Spring MVC, Hibernate, JPA
A great 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
Possible duplicate: Is there a maven 2 archetype for spring 3 MVC applications?
That said, I would encourage you to think about making your own archetype. The reason is, no matter what you end up getting from someone else's, you can do better in not that much time, and a decent sized Java project is going to end up making a lot of jar projects.
Take a look at http://start.spring.io/ it basically gives you a kick starter with either maven or gradle build.
Note: This is a Spring Boot based archetype.
