cannot create a spring template project using STS

Question

While creating a new spring template project, I keep getting the following error - ``` Input for field toplevelpackage does not match the regex \w+\.\w+(\.\w+)+. ``` I tried all combinations for top level package names. But none seem to work ``` com.springtest com.springtest.* com.springtest* ``` We cant leave this field empty. :-( I am using STS version of 2.9.1

Accepted Answer

You need to define a top package name with 3 or more parts.

for example

```
com.mycompany.myapp
```

BTW: That is exact what the regex and the example in the dialog say
