This source distribution was created specifically for the IndicThreads.com Conference On Java Technology 2007 (Pune, India) What you have downloaded is the starting point of the hands-on tutorial conducted on Spring, the video of which should be soon available at the indicthreads.com website (if not already). The project is ready to be opened in Eclipse. All required libraries are also included. Feel free to use or modify this distribution any way you wish. You will need Java 5 and Apache Tomcat available. Edit build.properties to point to your Apache Tomcat home directory.
