Springsource tool suite and Spring template project

Question

I'm trying to set up a new Spring MVC project using springsource tool suite and the Spring Template project wizard.

The wizard asks for a top-level package name such as com.mytravel.company, but it seems to ignore any top level package greater than 3 levels deep

Is this by design, or is it a bug in the wizard.

Can anybody recommend another wizard to generate the shell of a spring mvc project.

Thanks

Answer 1

I can't confirm this behavior (didn't check myself) but a dummy workaround would be to use a package name that gets accepted and to modify it after the facts. This doesn't seem to be a blocking issue.

Answer 2

Not an answer but a confirmation. More than a year after this question the latest version of STS still limits the package to three levels. A VERY annoying limitation!
