Answer 3

I'm new too and for what I can say you can use your pom.xml to add all the dependencies that you need. For example, if you need to add spring context, you can just write its name and version. Maven thinks of how to find and import it.

The syntax of the example is:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
    <version>3-0</version>
</dependency>

For every dependence that you need, just write is groupId, artifactID and version, within the dependency tag and maven will think of everything.

Hence you will have a list of these dependency tags in the pom.xml.

Moreover, don't forget Maven use its structure ;)

Firstly, in my opinion we have to do clarity on a few things. Spring is a modular application container that provides some functionality like DI, IoC, Security and Transactional Context. These functionalities help the developers to build different kind of application. Maven instead is a tool of project managment that allows to handle the the application life cycle, dependencies, reporting ecc. Then you are not obliged to use maven with spring, but its use helps in many cases. Then first to add spring dependency in your pom you have to undestand what spring's module you need. For this reason you have to try to understand what you are doing and update you question. Only after this step somebody can help you
