Shoaib,

did you you download and install the file "updatesite_1.0.3.zip" or did you use Eclipse's Update Manager?

If you install via the Update Manager (the recommended way :-)) then you have to select the features "Beans Configuration Support 1.03" and "Spring Framework 1.0.2".
With former versions of "Spring IDE" (<= v1.0.2) the XML parser plugin (Xerces) was required. Starting with v1.0.3 Spring IDE ships with an included version of Xerces.

So I suppose you installed an earlier version of Spring IDE (<= v1.0.2).

Maybe I should remove the older versions of Spring IDE from the Update Site.
