Learn Spring by Examples: How to add Spring IDE to the Eclipse?

Adding the Spring IDE to the eclipse is not  compulsory. However it will ease out the spring coding.

All you need to do is adding spring related Jars to the workspace.

I assume everyone have the Eclipse workspace ready for adding the Spring IDE.

If not Download the eclipse from the website http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

In this post I am going to tell you on how to add Spring IDE to the Eclipse.
Step 1:  Open the Eclipse workspace and click on help -> Install New Software

Step 2:  Click on Add button on the window opened.

Step 3:  Add a site Enter some name and enter location http://springide.org/updatesite and click on OK (Make sure that you are connected to internet before this step)

Select the necessary softwares.

Step 4:  You are done!! Wait till the completion of downloading process and Reopen the workspace to see the added IDE.

Step 5:  Once you reopen the workspace you should be able to create the spring project.

Right click on project explorer -> click on New -> click on Other and select the Spring project.

I will cover all the modules of the Spring framework with working code examples…in my next blogs.
