In the web project's "Spring Configuration" panel, there needs to be the ability to add and detect Spring configuration files that are in jars on the classpath. This would apply to both the "Add Files..." and "Detect Files..." actions. For example, in my maven web project, I have a declared dependency on a jar that contains a number of spring configuration files inside the jar. My application uses these as a template on which I build my custom application, so I need the IDE to know about these and provide code completion for the beans defined in them.
