I'm newbie in java web application development, I'm looking for complete new version framework to work for my project, since I don't want to reconfigure the environment for new versions repeatedly, I did following:


1. Downloaded and Installed JDK release 6 update 26 - Went Smooth using online support
2. Downloaded Eclipse for Java EE, Version is JUNO - Went Smooth
3. Installed both mysql-5.5.25a-win32 and mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.41-win32 and did configuration - Went Smooth
4. Configured Tomcat server in Eclipse IDE, version 7.0 - Went Smooth
5. Configured apache-maven-3.0.4, set path and Maven_Home in environmental variables - Went Smooth
   - What is the number for maven-archetype-quickstart in this latest release, since it keep changing from every version they release, I'm confused and stuck while following an online material link
6. For Spring 3.1.0 release, I used eclipse plugin for Spring, In Eclipse Market I found Spring STS and Installed - Went smooth
7. Restarted eclipse, Now I'm able to see spring functionality (Icons an etc) in my eclipse toolbar
     - Is that enough or should I do something more for making eclipse to develop individual spring mvc application?
8. For Hibernate 4.15, I did same like Spring, here I searched for Hibernate Tools in eclipse market an installed, - Went Smooth
9. Restarted Eclipse, Perfect so far!
    - Same question like wise Spring, Is this enough to develop individual Hibernate DAO application (I mean not integrating other frameworks)? I'm newbie, I request you to correct me if I don't speak sense.
10. For Struts 2, I'm confused how to configure Eclipse IDE likewise Spring and Hibernate. I read at some place in internet that if we are using maven version greater than 3.0.4, we can have inbuilt Struts2, JQuery and Ajax functionality. If I'm wrong please correct me with guided tutorial.

Note: Should I do something  more like installing extra plugins in eclipse to integrate, Spring - Hibernate, Hibernate - Struts2, Spring - Struts2 and Spring - Struts2 - Hibernate. If I don't speak sense in this concern, could you please suggest me, what I needed to do.

I'm very good with JAVA console applications and have good knowledge on how to develop desktop applications. I'm very found of Object Oriented Concepts. But I never tried to sneak peek into Java Web application development. But I believe time has come for me to step into my shoes since I want to make this as apart of tea in my cup :) .

After reading helping material I came to know that:
1. Struts2 with ajax and JQuery will help in View of the web application.
2. Hibernate is helpful in developing DAO with database in effective way.
3. Spring is used for dependency injection with above frameworks to make an MVC application.
           Please correct me, If I'm wrong.   

I want to learn each framework separately with an example and also integrating all these with a good commercial example with latest versions. Why I bold this because, whatever material I got internet is old fashioned and I'm stuck if I'm following those (for ex, spring.jar is not available from latest release of spring 3.0.1).
