Creating resources

To create basic Spring project resources, you can use Spring Initializr (https://start.spring.io/) . In Spring Initializr, provide the necessary details:

Generate a Maven Project with Java and Spring Boot 1.5.9.

Group: com.packtpub.restapp

Artifact: ticket-management

Search for dependencies:  Select Web (Full Stack Web Development with Tomcat and Web MVC)  dependency 

After filling in the details, just click Generate Project; then it will create Spring basic resources in ZIP format. We can start using the project by importing them into Eclipse.
