I am new to Spring and I am going to develop my first Helloworld Application in spring. What I use
Spring 2.5.6
JDK 1.7
Eclipse 3.6
Maven
I downloaded Spring framework and added all the required jars to my project but when I add dependencies to my pom.xml file and try to build the project it gives me the following error
Could not resolve dependencies for Project....
My pom.xml is
 <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
