I am just beginning to learn Spring. I have already read about the Spring IDE (Eclipse plug-in) and STS. So I decided to install the Spring IDE with Eclipse.
Right now I'm going through the tutorials for (DI). I have created a class which it will be injected in another. I also have created the xml configuration, however I can not create the bean which uses the Spring Inversion of Control because I eclipse does not find the imported libraries for Spring itself. For example:
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.support. ClassPathXmlApplicationContext
Do I need import the external jars or install the Spring Framework? If so, why? I'm not understanding this problem because if I install the eclipse plugin, wouldn't I have the needed libraries in there?
I know this is a basic question but I have not found a clear answer.
