Spring Portlet MVC Sample ApplicationApplications - Finally, download the main sample application. There will be other samples that we will use as part of the seminars, but this is the main sample sample applications. Unzip this into your workspace . Go into the "spring-portlet-sample" directory on the command linedirectory. One at a time, go into each directory ("sample1" through "sample6"), and run the command "mvn package". This will take a while the first time as Maven downloads all the dependencies for building and deploying the application. It is critical that you do this before the seminar since these downloads can take a while, especially over a slow Internet connection. At the end you should see a message that says "BUILD SUCCESSFUL". You can then run this command again and it should only take about 15 seconds with all the dependencies already in place.
