BBLOGBACK B2

This project is based from the Spring Tool Suite (STS) Spring MVC project. We've added a bb-manifest.xml and an example of a view that uses the Blackboard Tags to render a page that has the look and feel of other Blackboard Learn pages. Lastly, we've added code that uses the Logback Java APIs to create log files.

Note: To use the /coursetest action you must have created a course with the courseId mbk-test on your Learn system.
