You can use Swagger-SpringMVC, which will automatically integrate Swagger compliant API-docs into your application.

Version 1.0.2 is stable and supports Swagger 1.2.

Version 2.0.0 is currently under development and will support Swagger 2.0.

The api-docs will be accessible using http://localhost:8080/api-docs then.

You can also use Swagger-UI to access the API-docs and you can generate the client code using Swagger-Codegen.
