Spring Environment Set up

Step 1: Set up Java Development Kit (JDK):

Download the latest version of SDK Oracle's official site: click here 

DOWNLOAD

Ignore if you have already have SDK in your system. 

Set the class PATH and Java Home environment variables to refer to the directory. 

(or) If you use any IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like Sun One Studio, Eclipse, IDE knows where you installed SDK (Java) .

Step 2: Down load the IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

According to your requirement download the any following IDE tool:

1.1 Eclipse IDE http://www.eclipse.org/downloads , MyEclipse, [RAD, RSA,WSAD, WID, ][IBM], IntelliJ

1.2: NetBeans

What is WorkSpace?
It is group of projects and all those project settings will be there in workspace folder.
While opening if there is a existing workspace it will open that if there is no existing one then it will create a new work space.
Once the workspace is created it creates .metadata folder, it contains the project settings information.

Step 2: Install Apache Common Logging API:

Download the latest version of Apache Commons Logging API from http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-logging/download_logging.cgi

Once you downloaded the installation process , unpack the binary file into your desired location (any drive c,d)

This directory have following jar files and other relating supporting documents.

Now start your Eclipse IDE .

• Go to File->new->Java Project

Configure the jar files into your project by clicking the Project Name (Ex: FirstSpringProject or HelloEx).

Configuring the JAR files :Adding Jar Files

Select all the JAR files:

Click on open button

 

Click ok button.

So this will include all the jar files
