The plugin will scan the project source folder, resources and target/generated-* folders for spring context files, as described by the includes/excludes parameters. By default, it scans for applicationContext*.xml and all xml files in META-INF/spring.
running mvn springide:generate will create the SpringIDE configuration. A simple eclipse project refresh will update the spring views.
