Spring-samples don't understand the templates

Question

Could please anybody explain to my how the templates work ? Can't find any info about it, there is no README, nothing. Is it supposed to be some kind of maven archetype or what ?

Thank you

Answer 1

I believe these templates are for SpringSource Tools Suite (STS).

1. Go to File > New > Spring Template Project.
2. Select the template and click Next.
3. Enter the project name and top-level package name, then Finish.
4. Et voila.
