Using angular2 in a Spring webapp WITHOUT node.js
<p>I just made the move from Angular 1 to 2, and now I am going to create a spring mvc maven webapp with angular2 for the front-end side of it.</p>

<p>But everywhere on the internet I see people using node.js for the necessary libraries &amp; plugins. Is there a way I can just use maven dependencies for this?</p>

<p><strong>App structure:</strong></p>

<pre><code>_ main
   _ java
   _ resources
   _ webapp
       _ components
            _ app.component.ts
       _ img
       _ WEB-INF
       _ index.html
       _ main.ts
</code></pre>

<p><strong>main.ts</strong></p>

<pre><code>//getting an error on the bootstrap import 
//because the angular2 folders aren't there because there is no node
import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser'

import {AppComponent} from './components/app.component.ts'

bootstrap(AppComponent);
</code></pre>
