Answer 1

This could be related to a bug in sts if you are behind an NTLM proxy like me.

https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-3647

Answer 2

1. From sts dashboard in Eclipse choose the Install Extension option .
2. Check the Show Installed box on the top right side of the screen.
3. Check the Spring IDE box and install it.
4. Restart Eclipse and you are ready to go

Answer 3

What worked for me was to:

1. Switch to Spring perspective.
2. File -> New -> Spring Project
3. Now I see the 'Spring MVC Project option'.

Using Eclipse Luna with Spring IDE 3.6 plugin.
