Type of Eclipse project for sample Spring project

In a tutorial at http://static.springsource.org/docs/Spring-MVC-step-by-step/part1.html Spring guys didn't say which Eclipse project they choose to create this sample application. Project icon has S symbol over it, so this isn't a Java project (marked with J symbol). However, it doesn't look like a Dynamic Web project either.

Could you please explain that S symbol and say which project type is it?

They are using the Spring Eclipse plugin (either that, or they are using the Springsource Tool Suite IDE, based on Eclipse)

With this plugin, a dynamic web project should get you the 'S' you are looking for.

The S just means that the Spring nature is active (and it's either Spring IDE or SpringSource Tool Suite). In Eclipse-speak, I guess you should generate a dynamic web project, but it would be better to generate a Maven Project and import that into Eclipse (then Eclipse will automatically set the correct project type).
