I have to develop web based application on spring currently i am using eclipse.

i have installed plug-in for spring development is there any better options to choose open source IDE?

Choice of IDE is always a personal preference.

Mine is to use Intellij IDEA ultimate. Obivouslly this invokes you paying for a license but it is in my opinion a very well thought out IDE for all aspects of java development and includes great support for spring.

For an opensource alternative try the springsource tool suite it's basically a canned version of ecplise with all the plugins installed.
