Today i show how you can easily develop a Mavenproject with Spring-Beans
in your Eclipse-IDE. You have to add a new plugin to your pom’s
plugins-section:

Then you can run mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse (eclipse:clean is not required). The eclipse-plugin will create/change the .springBean and the .settings/org.springframework.ide.eclipse.core.prefs. Then you can refresh the eclipse-project (F5) from now the project contains a Spring-Builder which will handle the defined spring-configuration-files services.xml and datasource.xml. If you have more Springfiles you have to change the plugin-configuration.

    With the new version 2.0.5 of the spring IDE you don’t need anymore the creation of the .settingsfile from your pom.xml file. The spring IDE detects now automaticly your spring configurations and many more.

    Have a look here: http://jira.springframework.org/browse/IDE-749
