How to Get the Maven Pom Version in Spring
Apache Maven, often referred to as Maven, is an open source Java tool. Using it creates a Project Object Model file, or a POM file. It shows up as POM.xml in the directory. This file can be seen and used by other pieces of software, like SpringSource. In order to do this you'll need to be a little familiar with the tools you plan on using. It's recommended to read all of the information that Maven provides on its tool, as well as the information that Spring provides about its software.

Tips & Warnings
The first time you install the POM.xml file, it may take a long while. This is a good time to take a break.
Java must be installed on your computer for Maven and SpringSource to work. If you do not have it installed, go to Java's website to download and install it, according to the website's instructions.
