Download Spring Source Tool Suite (STS) -- it is an free Eclise provided by Spring Source containing the plugins you need (spring ide, m2eclipse, aspectJ, ...). So you do not need to download them all by hand.
Open your Eclipse go to Help>Eclipse Marketplace and search Spring IDE. Install it and at the end (afer installation and eclipse restart) you should have a spring project menu on File>New tab. But I suggest you to use maven instead of ant to build you apps.
