Lets build a new spring 3 app from maven.
See the maven version is 3.x
set path=c:\mavan\bin
mvn --version
See what are the archetypes are available
E:\workspace>mvn archetype:generate
Now, let’s generate the project
E:\workspace>mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.fluttercode.knappsack -DarchetypeArtifactId=spring-mvc-jpa-demo-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.1 -DgroupId=com.mycoompany.springapp -DartifactId=my-spring-app -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DinteractiveMode=false
Now you can see a new folder my-spring-app is created
E:\workspace>cd my-spring-app
Convert the project as a Eclipse project and take a coffee break
E:\workspace\my-spring-app>mvn eclipse:eclipse
To instruct Eclipse about mvn, do the following. e:\workspace is my Eclipse workspace
E:\workspace\my-spring-app>mvn -Declipse.workspace=e:\workspace eclipse:add-maven-repo
Import my-spring-app to eclipse and publish to Weblogic.

weblogic.application.ModuleException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)
Solve this by replacing the sl4j version to the one compatible with weblogic. For me it is 1.6.1
