please help me out. i am trying to install Spring Framework 3 on MAC.

I downloaded the regular release version, under /dist i find a bunch of JAR files. However, when i download the version 'with dependencies', i get just a bunch of folders with xml files inside.

Do i need the dependencies version? if so, how do i create the proper jars from this?

also, if i use the release version, do i need to copy and use all the jar files under /dist?

i am going to be using this with Eclipse. Do i just need to copy these jar files to a location and point my Spring project to them?

i've tried googling Spring installation and can't seem to get a straight answer.. any help is appreciated...
