When I created the spring MVC project with STS, how can modify the default XML content

Question

I use the STS to creat Spring MVC project, STS version is 3.7.3.RELEASE. the default spring xml configuration file is :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">

    <!-- DispatcherServlet Context: defines this servlet's request-processing infrastructure -->

    <!-- Enables the Spring MVC @Controller programming model -->
    <annotation-driven />

    <!-- Handles HTTP GET requests for /resources/** by efficiently serving up static resources in the ${webappRoot}/resources directory -->
    <resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />

    <!-- Resolves views selected for rendering by @Controllers to .jsp resources in the /WEB-INF/views directory -->
    <beans:bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <beans:property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
        <beans:property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
    </beans:bean>

    <context:component-scan base-package="test.dmh.hw" />

</beans:beans>

but when I configure my own HandlerInterceptorAdapter, I found the config file is not meeting my requirement. because the head is : beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" So I have to edit the file like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd">


    <context:component-scan base-package="com.shanshan.bo" />

    <!-- 配置拦截器 -->
    <mvc:interceptors>
        <!-- 多个拦截器，按顺序执行 -->
        <mvc:interceptor>
            <mvc:mapping path="/**"/> <!-- 表示拦截所有的url包括子url路径 -->
            <bean class="com.shanshan.bo.interceptor.LoginHandlerInterceptor"/>
        </mvc:interceptor>
    </mvc:interceptors>

    <!-- Enables the Spring MVC @Controller programming model -->
    <mvc:annotation-driven />

    <!-- Handles HTTP GET requests for /resources/** by efficiently serving up static resources in the ${webappRoot}/resources directory -->
    <mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />

    <!-- Resolves views selected for rendering by @Controllers to .jsp resources in the /WEB-INF/views directory -->
    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
    </bean>

</beans>

change the head : beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

Now I want the file format is this when I creat the project, so I don't have to change it anymore. How can I edit the springmvc.xml file content ?

Spring Tool Suite has Spring Config Editor, which you can use to edit namespaces.

To open file with Spring Config Editor, right click on the file and select Open With>Spring Config Editor. Check image below

Now you can edit the namespaces using the Namespaces tab at the bottom of this editor.

Following is a sample Namespaces tab
