Spring MVC updated "hello world" example by Steve Saporta Dec 19 2013

This is an updated version of mkyong's excellent Spring 3 MVC Hello World Example. My version includes a few enhancements:

• Works out of the box with Eclipse Juno and Tomcat 7
• Maven standard directory structure
• Spring version 4.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT rather than 3.0.5.RELEASE
• No need to append "welcome" to the URL to see the "hello world" page
• Project and classpath settings work with Tomcat 7 and Java 1.7

Here are instructions for importing and running the project in Eclipse Juno with Tomcat 7:

• Open a shell or DOS command window.

• Change directory to your Eclipse workspace.

• Clone the Git repo:

  git clone git@github.com:sasaporta/springmvcshell.git

• Open Eclipse.

• Select File | Import from the menu.

• Expand General and select Existing Projects into Workspace. Click Next.

• Browse to the springmvcshell subfolder of your Eclispe workspace and click OK.

• Click Finish.

• Right-click springmvcshell in Eclipse's Project Explorer and select Run As | Run on Server.

• Click Finish.

• Restart the server if prompted to do so.

• You should see a "hello world" page.
