How to modularize a Spring MVC application?

Question

Hi there

I could not see any samples so far and im wondering is it even possible, can i modularize my spring application?

I dont mean just packages and jars. I would like to be able to have lets say a controller a few beans and some views + images and css. All the files necessary bundled together and dropped into the app like a jar.

or do i need custom tasks to extract pieces of content and jars from modules i want to depend on and bundle it up to one war at build time? That seems like a lot of work though.

I know you can do that easily in groovy but i was wondering if that could be done in spring.

Thanks a million
