I am trying to follow the basic tutorial for Spring MVC but got lost at creating a new project in Eclipse.
It seems to me that most tutorials assume you know how to create a Spring Project in Eclipse.
Any advice on where to get started or tutorials which explain how to set up Eclipse would be appreciated.

You want to create a "Dynamic Web Project". Follow the steps here: Spring MVC Tutorial with Eclipse and Tomcat.

Also, here is the Eclipse documentation for Dynamic Web Projects: http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.wst.webtools.doc.user/topics/ccwebprj.html
