Hi Benjamin,
Moreover, I feel that the need to write XML to define components is a > hustle (think: refactoring and typing errors). > That was also my first gut feeling when starting with Spring. But since everybody uses it - and also seem to like it - I thought: OK, it's maybe just stupid me. In Eclipse IDE for example I got really used to browsing a classes type hierarchy, quickly jump to it's implementation, it's references and such. When using Spring I'm basically stuck to string searches. Or have I missed some good Eclipse plugins? :-) Regards, Richard
