Actually this should be a pretty old topic, since I have done the same thing more than 5 times. However, without note down all the details, each time I have to google to solve some issue. Every time I just wondered why in the first place I keep this details down, now finally I decide to write all this down in case next time I have to google again and again.
So what you need to do is simply use the install new software tool in the Help menu. The address of spring plug-in is:http://springide.org/updatesite .And actually all you need is pretty clearly written on the web site of http://springide.org/project/wiki/SpringideInstall.
However, there might be several issues you will encounter. In my situation, you will always get a complaint about the missing component of "package org.eclipse.ajdt.internal.ui.lazystart 0.0.0". This package belongs to AJDT (which stands for AspectJ Development Tools) could be downloaded through the site of http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/35/update, and relevant info is here: http://www.eclipse.org/ajdt/downloads/.
After that try the spring plugin once again, in my case no complain any more and you should be able to get dirty with Spring finally.
PS: I have tried this method both in Ubuntu 9.10 and Mac OS Snow Leopard. Haven't try on Windows so please forgive me if it fails with Microsoft.
