How to create a new Java + Maven + Spring + Hibernate/JPA project from scratch with Eclipse?
<p>I'm using Eclipse (Neon.1) and Java 8.  I know my way around Java and in the past I created Java projects by File > New > Java Project (for a POJO project).  Or File > New > Dynamic Web Project (for a WAR web app project).</p>

<p>But today I want a project that uses Maven, Spring MVC, Spring ORM, JPA/Hibernate, and probably a couple of other things.</p>

<p>I'm confused about how to build this project in Eclipse.</p>

<p>Do I do File > New > Java Project ... and tweak it and add stuff to it?</p>

<p>Or do I File > New > Maven Project ... and tweak it and add stuff to it?</p>

<p>I've also heard that Spring Boot is a good way to get started with this kind of thing.</p>

<p>Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</p>
