import org.springframework.* issue

[steve1226]

I have installed Spring into my Eclipse 3.1 enviromnent.

But when i use 'import org.springframework.*:" eclipse can't find
the import.

What am I doing wrong or what have I not setup properly?

Thanks in advance
Steve

Steve,

Spring IDE doesn't help you here :-(. It's only about editing and validating Spring beans config files as described in the Spring IDE guide (http://springide.org/project/wiki/SpringideGuide) or feature list (http://springide.org/project/wiki/SpringideFeatures).

You have to download the Spring distribution and add the corresponding libraries (e.g. spring-beans.jar) to your project as with any other external dependency like "hibernate.jar" or "log4j.jar".

Cheers,
Torsten
