In the Spring Tool Suite you have more tools build into your IDE and the tools are configured.
As far as STS is concerned:
- ... comes with Maven, Spring Roo and tc Server developer edition pre-packaged and pre-configured (you can start using tc Server or Spring Roo right away without the need to download or configure them manually)
- ... comes with additional components pre-installed, like the Maven Integration for Eclipse (including the Maven Eclipse integration for WTP, AJDT and Groovy/Grails)

Download the Spring tools suite from the following URL and add the extracted libraries to the WEB-INF/lib folder of your dynamic web project.
or else
Go to Eclipse->Help->Install New Software Add new site as follows:
Name: SpringSource Update Site for Eclipse 4.4 URL: http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/e4.4/
