Spring configuration using maven and eclipse a crash course

Spring configuration using maven and eclipse a crash course:

Tools you need to get standard with:
Eclipse /springtoolsute
M2Eclipse

1.Create a new maven project(Artifactid:maven-archetype-webapp)
2.
  We need 3 dependencies they are:
     Spring-webmvc
      Servlet-api
     Jstl
We actually don’t need this servlet-api and jstl because tomcat going to serve those for us.

Following are the dependencies which we need to add in the pom.xml file:

      <!-- Spring MVC framework -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.2.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

<dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.5</version>
                   <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>


    <!-- JSTL -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
                  <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
