Spring - Setup

To create a Spring project with Eclipse, you basically need Spring Tool Suite (STS) and Spring Framework.

Get STS through Eclipse MarketPlace -

I am using Eclipse Indigo, please select corresponding STS according to your Eclipse distribution.

Get Spring Framework from Spring Downloads, then unzip the file to some place like D:\spring-framework-3.2.2.RELEASE.

Create Spring Project and add Spring library (Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Library -> User Library -> New Library (Spring) -> Add Jar (D:\spring-framework-3.2.2.RELEAS\lib)) to the project.
