How to enable spring support in IntelliJ Community Edition 2016.1.3

Question

I have very good pure Java basic knowledge. As long as there are no XML config and no project management tools involved, I am very good.

The things that really confused

Answer 1

Let's take things one by one:

1. Your problem understanding builds management tools like maven and gradle. Try these links for tutorials: Maven in 5 Minutes, gradle is very advance build automation tool with continuous Integration features, you can find a good comparison between gradle and maven here.

2. If you are confused about spring to try this book: Spring in Action 3rd Edition (4th Edition is also available, I recommend 3rd edition as you will be able to link XML to annotations.)

3. You do not need any tool to generate XML files. Copy a sample spring configuration file from the internet, remove unwanted elements and write your own beans.
