The majority of the items added when adding spring capabilities are libraries. If you wanted to get the spring builder installed, you can use the Add Spring Capabilities wizard, but un-check all libraries on the wizard. Doing this will enable the spring builder and you’ll see the Spring Elements node in the Project Explorer.
Note that after you’ve added that Spring Elements node in Project explorer, you may need to manually get your existing beans under the “Beans” node by right-clicking the node and selecting Properties, then add all of your existing beans.
In general, all of the menu options on the MyEclipse menu should work for maven projects just as they do for non-maven projects except that when adding libraries the pom will be updated.
