Thymeleaf Spring-MVC Maven Archetype

This project is a maven archetype for creating a web application with Thymeleaf and Spring.

Thymeleaf

The main goal of Thymeleaf is to provide an elegant and well-formed way of creating HTML 5 templates. Its Standard and SpringStandard dialects allow you to create powerful natural templates, that can be correctly displayed by browsers and therefore work also as static prototypes.
