SpringMVC Twitter Bootstrap Showcase

Overview

Spring MVC Showcase built with JQuery-UI is a great start. It demonstrates the capabilities of the Spring MVC web framework through small, simple examples. After reviewing this showcase, you should have a good understanding of what Spring MVC can do and get a feel for how easy it is to use.

However Bootstrap is awesome.

This fork brings them together, along with other goals:

• Use only embedded servers (jetty, h2, etc.,)
• Decorate Layouts with Sitemesh
• Move page-specific js into a commmon js
• Incorporate Themes from Bootswatch
• Build the tutorial into the app?
• Extend showcase with more features, gotchas, best practices?
• Integrate Spring Social and Spring Data?
