I have been trying for weeks to install spring plugin with Eclipse 3.7
It seems very slow and it keeps timing out with certain jars it is trying to get as dependancies
tptp jars are the usual problems, Is there any way to manually install these dependancies and the plugin or do i have to keep trying over and over watching it re-download the same files over and over?
I did leave it once all day Friday through to end of day Monday and it only got 48% through installing.
Repository in use is the following
http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/e3.7
and
http://dist.springsource.com/milestone/TOOLS/composite/e3.7
I am on a fast link but just got this error

The easiest solution was to install the SpringIde from spring itself, it comes as an eclipse install with spring already installed.
