Springsource Tool Suite and creating an Application from scratch

Question

I have looked around for a beginners tutorial to start creating a Spring app using the STS IDE. There seems to be nothing around, its either hand build it or the tutorial doesn't work and is many versions off the current IDE. I am very new to Spring and need to get going on this. Any links you can throw my way I would appreciate it.

STS provides Template Projects. Open File -> New -> Spring Template Project. Now you can choose the type of application you want to create. If you want to create a web application choose Spring MVC Project. This will create a complete project with a controller, a view, maven integration and everything else you need. You can immediately run this application in tc Server.
