Installation of Spring IDE using the Callisto Discovery Site

The following instructions describe how to install Spring IDE with all dependencies using the Callisto Discovery Site:

Download and install the latest release version of Eclipse SDK 3.2.x as shown in this Screencam demo
Start Eclipse and create a new workspace (optionally check "Use this as the default and do not ask again")
After the startup of Eclipse open the Install / Update dialog via the menu entry "Help > Software Updates > Find and Install ..."
Select the option "Search for new features to install" and hit "Next >"
Add a new entry with the Spring IDE updatesite http://springide.org/updatesite
Select the entries for the Callisto Discovery Site and the Spring IDE updatesite and hit "Finish"
Select the features "Spring IDE x.x.x" and (at least) "Web Standard Tools (WST)" from the list of available features
To get rid of the the error messages "x requires feature y" hit "Select Required"
Now hit "Next >", accept the feature licenses and hit "Next >" again
To separate the additionally installed features from the Eclipse SDK you can optionally create a new install location (hit "Change Location..." and using "Add Location" to create a new location folder)
If you choose to create a separate install location then you have to select this location via "Change Location..." for every feature in the list one by one
After hitting "Finish" the download is started
After the download is finished you're prompted to verify all features which are not digitally signed. Hit "Install All" to start the installation.
After the installation is finished you're prompted to restart Eclipse. Hit "Yes" to restart Eclipse.
After Eclipse is restarted you can verify if all features are successfully installed via Eclipse's About dialog (menu entry "Help > About Eclipse SDK"). Here an icon for Spring IDE and WebTools should be available.

Congratulations. You have made it!
