Setting Up ZK Spring using Maven
Create a New Project with ZK Archetype
The simplest way to create a ZK maven project is using archetype: zk-ee-eval-archetype-webapp-spring. A project generated by this archetype will include required ZK and spring dependencies and ZK maven evaluation repository.
If you use maven in a command line console, you need to specify ZK archetype catalog URL to generate your project. Please refer to ZK Installation Guide/Quick Start/Create and Run Your First ZK Application with Eclipse and Maven#Use the command line version of Maven to create a project.
If you use eclipse, you can add the catalog URL via Window / Preferences / Maven / Archetypes, please refer to ZK Installation Guide/Quick Start/Create and Run Your First ZK Application with Eclipse and Maven#Add ZK Maven Archetype
Adding ZK Spring Dependencies
After creating a project, you still need to add ZK Spring dependencies. ZK Spring has 3 artifacts, you can add them upon your requirement.
For ZK 5, you can use 3.0 or above.
For ZK 6 or above, you should use 3.1 or above.
