Description
The STS template projects are a real boost in getting started on a new project and also tend to serve as an initial base example for the kinds of projects that they generate. The Spring MVC template project, for example, helps a user get started quickly on a Spring MVC project without burdening them with setting up DispatcherServlet, ContextLoaderListener, view resolvers, etc.
To aid in getting started quickly with a Spring Social application, it would be nice if there were a Spring Social template project in STS. Such a template project could mimic much of what the existing Spring MVC template project does, but in addition add the essential configuration and artifacts to support a minimal Spring Social setup. It could be opinionated in the sense that it would setup Spring Social for one provider (Facebook would be the likely choice) and focus on a JDBC-based connection repository. Developers could then adjust the configuration to meet their specific needs.
