Spring IDE is a very useful graphical user interface tool adding support for Spring Framework. In this tutorial, we show you two ways to install Spring IDE in Eclipse.
Version used in this tutorial :
- Spring IDE 2.9
- Eclipse 3.7
Spring IDE or SpringSource Tool Suite (STS)?
Refer to this Spring IDE vs STS pdf file for feature comparison. Personally, I go for Spring IDE for one reason – just can’t let go my existing Eclipse, too many plugins installed.

1. Install New Software
Classic way, Eclipse IDE, click “Help” -> “Install New Software…”. Type “http://springide.org/updatesite” to access the Spring IDE update site.
Select all the Spring IDE features you want to install.
Take long time to install and restart Eclipse after finished.
2. Eclipse Marketplace
This is the prefer way, because you no need to remember the long Spring ide update URL. In Eclipse IDE, click “Help” -> “Eclipse Marketplace“, type “Spring IDE“, follow the wizard to finish the installation.
Same, take long time to install and restart Eclipse after finished.

I think this is among the most important info for me. And i
am glad reading your article. But should remark on
some general things, The web site style is great, the articles
is really nice : D. Good job, cheers
Asking questions are really fastidious thing if you are not
understanding anything completely, but this article offers good understanding yet.

Pls suggest .Thanks in advance
please note, that starting from 05/20/2010 to access the Spring IDE update site one must type ‘http://dist.springframework.org/release/IDE’ ‘http://springide.org/updatesite’
one must type ‘http://dist.springframework.org/release/IDE’ INSTEAD OF ‘http://springide.org/updatesite’

I have some query regarding Spring Tool Suite. Does it support struts 1.x and hibernate out of the box? Right now i am using Eclipse galileo with JBOSS Tools, so the support for struts 1.x and hibernate is quite good. So i am wondering if i can get the same support in Spring Tool Suite or not.
Can anybody kindly help me in this regard? Any link will be much appreciated. Thank you.
does this installation include spring 3 ????
thx
Thanks alot , that’s worked with me.
Or just use SpringSource Tool Suite:
http://www.springsource.com/products/sts
It’s free and it already has Spring IDE and many other plugins installed.
Thanks for introduce SpringSource Tool Suite, it look promising :), will try it
Thanx for link obout Spring IDE features. Seen several very interesting things.
