First Steps for Spring Integration using Maven

We will start with creating a Maven project and show how to add the necessary library support. The simplest method to create a Maven project is to use an archetype, as follows:

1. For a command window, enter mvn archetype:generate.
2. Choose maven-archetype-quickstart from the list of options, which provides a sample Maven project.
3. Select the latest version of the archetype and enter com.equinox.springintegration for the groupId, firstproject for the artifactId, and the defaults for version and package . Then enter Return to create the project.

Maven Dependencies for Spring Integration


<dependency>
     <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId>
     <artifactId>spring-integration-core</artifactId>
     <version>2.0.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-integration-jms</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

In addition, the Spring repositories may be needed, especially when using the
milestone and snapshot


<repositories>
<repository>
<id>repository.springframework.maven.release</id>
<name>Spring Framework Maven Release Repository</name>
<url>http://maven.springframework.org/release</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>org.springframework.maven.milestone</id>
<name>Maven Central Compatible Spring Milestone Repository</name>
<url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>org.springframework.maven.snapshot</id>
<name>Maven Central Compatible Spring Snapshot Repository</name>
<url>http://maven.springframework.org/snapshot</url>
</repository>
</repositories>


The following configuration must be added to ensure that the code compiles against Java SE 6, and that the resources directory isn’t filtered

pom.xml Build Element for Java SE 6


<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
