Re: [Springframework-developer] I'm a newbie

Hi Brett,

As a matter of fact I am in the process of writing a tutorial. Not for dummies, but for newbies :-(
Something for xDoclet would be cool. Then if you have the time maybe some Eclipse plugins or a stand-alone Swing GUI app. We don't all use Eclipse, for example I'm strictly text editor + command line tools.
