Extracting Files
As the downloaded resources are in .zip files they will have to be extracted. To do this:
You should now have 3 folders called 'Mms','Sms' and 'Location'. If these files are in your 'Downloads' directory, you may want to move them from there to a new folder in your 'Data' or main dirctory.
For the purposes of this tutorial I will be using SpringSourceToolSuite which is Free to download. You can also use similar applications such as: Eclipse
Setting Up Workspace
When you start up Spring you will be asked to select a workspace. You can click 'Browse' to choose an existing workspace OR create a new workspace (by creating a new folder and selecting it). Do this now.
Once you have selected a workspace and clicked 'OK' you will see the HomeScreen for Spring. Close this.
Now you will see the a screen. The 'Package Explorer' should be down the left hand side of the screen. If it is not, you can display it be going: >Window >Show View>Package Explorer or alternatively [Shift+Alt+Q P].
