Spring MVC Beginners Tutorial

We can use Eclipse for the Spring projects development, but SpringSource provides Spring Tool Suite (STS) that is an IDE based on Eclipse and comes with in-built VMware vFabric tc Server that is built on top of Apache Tomcat container and optimized for Spring based applications or you simple deploy on tomcat.
I would use STS for this tutorial and other future tutorials because it makes a developers life easier by providing following features:

• Support for creating skeletal Spring applications (MVC, Rest, Batch etc), good for starting project from scratch.
• Provides useful features such as creating Spring Configuration files, parsing config files and classes to provide useful information about them.
• Automatic validation of Spring application
• Refactoring support to easily make project changes, the changes gets reflected in config files too.
• Code assist for not only classes but configuration files too, I like this feature a lot because most of the times we need to know what we can use and it’s details.
• Best support for Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) through integration of AspectJ.

Looking at all the features STS provide, I was sold for this and decided to use it for Spring application and till now I am very happy with it.
Just Download the STS from STS Official Download Page and install it. I am using STS 3.4.0.RELEASE that is based on Eclipse 4.3.1 release.
