Adding Spring Support to a Project

See Also

The IDE provides Spring support for various Java-based applications, such as Java SE, EJB, and web applications. You can add Spring support to a project by either adding the Spring Framework 3.0 library to a project's classpath, or by creating a new Spring configuration file using the Spring XML Configuration File wizard. Along with creating the configuration file, this wizard will also offer to add the Spring library to the classpath if it has not already been added.

To add the Spring Framework library to a project classpath:

  1. In the Projects window, right-click the Libraries node and choose Add Library.
  2. In the Add Libraries dialog, select the Spring Framework 3.0.0 library and click Add Library.

The Spring Framework libraries are added to the project classpath, and they become visible from the project's Libraries node.
