The solution I prefer is using Maven, it is easy and you don't have to download each jar alone. You can do it with the following steps: 1.Create an empty folder in anywhere with any name you prefer, for example spring-source 2.Create a new file named pom.xml 3.Copy the following in this file 4.Open the spring-source folder in your console. Www.springsource.org, download spring framework 2.5 for initial programming programs – unzip and find the jars in dist folder; The main jar file of spring is called spring.jar it depends on commons-logging.jar (will not come with spring, just get it from some where in the internet) Am going to set spring.jar and commons-logging.jar, so that.

Please refer this url http://repo.spring.io/release/org/springframework/spring/ and Choose the which version Spring Jars you want.
Choose the spring-framework-X.X.X.RELEASE-dist.zip

You should be using this link to download spring jars. Other links in there are for checksum or documentation.

Important points to understand in all the spring related repo is that it contains 3 zip files .
- spring-framework-{version}-dist.zip : contains all the springrelated jars.
- spring-framework-{verison}-docs.zip : contains all the standard documents in HTML format for spring and related java api documents. It is similar to Oracle API Documentation. **Note : Inside all the folders you will find and index.html file. U can consume it typing the folder path till index.html in web browser.
- spring-framework-{version}-schema.zip*: contains all the spring modules based standard xsd for xml based spring development.

I hit the same issue and I followed Brian Clozel advice above.
- Create a new Maven project in eclipse.
- Edit the pom.xml and add the Spring dependencies as follows -org.springframework spring-core 5.0.6.RELEASE
When you build the project in eclipse,it hits the maven repo and downloads the requisite spring jars for you. The indirect dependencies should also be downloaded automatically.
Hope this helps.
