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.
How do you create a Spring MVC project in Eclipse?

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
Download Spring STS (SpringSource Tool Suite) and choose Spring Template Project from the Dashboard. This is the easiest way to get a preconfigured spring mvc project, ready to go.
You don't necessarily have to create a Spring project. Almost all Java web applications have he same project structure. In almost every project I create, I automatically add these source folder:
- src/main/java
- src/main/resources
- src/test/java
- src/test/resources
- src/main/webapp*
src/main/webapp isn't actually a source folder. The web.xml file under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF will allow you to run your java application on any Java enabled web server (Tomcat, Jetty, etc.). I typically add the Jetty Plugin to my POM (assuming you use Maven), and launch the web app in development using mvn clean jetty:run.
- step 1: create a new "Dynamic Web Project" in eclipse.
- step 2: right click on the created project.
- step 3: click on "configure" option.
- step 4: click on "convert to maven project".
