You cannot import "projects" as such. You can make a JAR available as a dependency for a project and then import Spring configurations (i.e. application context) from the JAR into Spring configurations of your project.

Example

Project A compiled into a.jar with a-context.xml in the root folder of a.jar. Then in project-context.xml in your project you place

<import resource="classpath:a-context.xml" />

Your case

In your case this does not make much sense. I assume the web project is compiled into a WAR file? Then you have lots of dependencies that are superfluous if used in a desktop application. Hence, you should extract a common project that is compiled into common.jar which can be used as a dependency from both projects.
