I needed to setup spring and used http://www.springframework.org/node/360 as a starter. I ran into the following problems:

1. I do not think the download instructions are valid anymore, e.g. I could not find the spring-osgi/spring-modules in the svn download. I think this page needs an overhaul
2. After downloading spring + spring dm, I installed the set of bundles given in the readme. However, this was not sufficient, I needed to add logging related bundles to get everything resolved. Some of these bundles I had to get from the main spring download.
3. After all resolved, it still did not work until I added com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging_1.1.1 (which I was told by someone else). Is the class loading model for all this logging well formed?
4. Sources are in separate JARs. This makes it necessary to link the source to the code when you debug Spring. Would it be possible to put the source in OPT-INF/src in the binary JAR? This is automatically picked up by Eclipse.

Overall, I think it would be nice to get a Quick Start page, I looked for it but I did not find another one that the one I linked.
