Install Spring IDE for Eclipse 3.4

Installing Spring IDE on Eclipse 3.4 (RC1) was not quite as straight forward as I thought it would have been, so here are a few more details on how to do it.

Help->Software Update
Click Available Software tab
Click Add Site
Enter http://springide.org/updatesite
Click checkbox next to http://springide.org/updatesite to expand.
Click checkbox to uncheck, then click again to check parent and children [Eclipse bug 232112].
Click Install
Software validity warning message will come up - click Yes
Resolving dependencies will moan with:

(Spring IDE Bean Support (required),Spring IDE Dependencies (only for Eclipse 3.2.x),Spring IDE OSGi Extension (optional),Spring IDE Web Flow Extension (optional),Spring IDE Security Extension (optional),Spring IDE AOP Extension (optional),Spring IDE JavaConfig Extension (optional),Spring IDE Autowire Extension (optional),Spring IDE Mylyn Integration,Spring IDE AJDT Integration (optional),Spring IDE Security Extension Developer Resources,Spring IDE Autowire Extension Developer Resources,Spring IDE AOP Developer Resources,Spring IDE OSGi Extension Developer Resources,Spring IDE Webflow Developer Resources,Spring IDE Mylyn Integration Sources,Spring IDE JavaConfig Developer Resources,Spring IDE Sources,Spring IDE AOP Developer Resources) will be ignored.
Uncheck Spring IDE Dependencies (only for Eclipse 3.2.x)
Screen will re-calculate successfully and the Finish button will appear, click it

All is good in the world.

I'm not able to download it, Eclipse doesn't connect to the update site (probably due to a firewall on my company)
Is there any way to install Eclipse IDE without the update site?
I know what you're thinking: I already tried the zipped archive and it ain't working either (in fact it completely messes up my Eclipse installation).
Spring IDE installation really sucks. They should solve all the bugs in every version before moving on to the next one and adding new ones. Shame on them...

As of this writing, installing Spring IDE 2.2.4 to Ganymede 3.4.2 the "Spring IDE Dependencies (only for Eclipse 3.2.x)" option is no longer visible, but you do have to uncheck:
the Spring IDE Mylyn Integration and
the Spring IDE AJDT Integration
or it will squawk about some bad swt dependency. Thanks for the tips everybody!

http://dist.springframework.org/release/IDE i get an error message:

"no repository found at..."

I tried your steps above and it gives me the same error message.

Pls help me, I am using eclipse-jee-galileo, but i can't install spring ide ajdt integration.

@Vasu - "help me it's broken". Well of course are you going to say how it's broken or do we have to guess. As you can see the other people here have written error messages and useful/related information, you haven't offered up anything. Perhaps you would like me to come around your house and fix it?

Hi,
Really it is very helpful when I am installing this IDE.
I followed the same steps...
And I must say one more thing - make sure to uncheck only the "AGDT..." dependencies, which allows you to install successfully.
Thanks for this...
Keep up the same!!!!
