Answer 2

Maven uses convention over configuration, and consequently all standard Maven projects have the same folder structure. Since the application context file is a resource you should put it int the src/main/resources folder (or one of its sub-folders).

Answer 5

You will need to use the maven jar plugin in order to generate the Jar out of your project:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
<mainClass>MainClass</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
