Where to place Twitter Bootstrap Files in a maven project?

Question

I starting out to create something using Twitter Bootstrap & Spring MVC. Can someone tell me where to place the Bootstrap CSS/JS/HTML files in a maven project structure?

My JSP page shows up fine. But, it's not able to get a hold on the CSS & JS files.

<link href="..resources/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="../resources/css/bootstrap-responsive.css" rel="stylesheet">

Answer 1

You could use Web Jars to bring them in as a Maven dependency. This gives you all the benefits of the Maven dependency management. The documentation page details how to use the resources in your app.

Answer 2

The "src/main/resources" folder is for resources that get copied and integrated with the compiled Java code in the resulting artifact (in this case, the WAR under "WEB-INF/classes").

The "src/main/webapp" folder represents the root of your web content. You'll need to add those web content resources there for them to be available to the JSP(s).
