Spring IDE - Beans Configuration Support (1.0.3) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.gef".

Which URL did you use for Eclipse's update manager? Did you use the one from the install guide?

Spring IDE (formerly known as "Spring IDE - Beans Configuration Support") version 1.0.3 is years old ;-)

Cheers,

What do you mean by "IDE checkbox was disabled"?

Regarding the non-starting Eclipse please take a look into it's log file. This can be found at "<Eclipse workspace directory>/.metadata/.log". Here you should find the reason for Eclipse's crash.

Maybe you should start from scratch by using a fresh installation of Eclipse 3.1.1 and install WTP 1.0 from http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/ (but read the corresponding instructions first). If WTP is up and running then install Spring IDE from http://springide.org/updatesite/.
