How can I retrieve Spring sample codes from their SVN repository

Spring 3.0 samples codes are available at an SVN repository in SpringSource. It says to be buildable with Maven, and is importable into Eclipse.

How can I retrieve whole source trees from this repository with the trunk directory structure??? Here's the link to it: https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-samples/.

After I imported the project into Eclipse, can I simply run with the auto-build without Maven. I am not familiar with Maven at this time and not sure if non-Maven projects can be imported into Eclipse and build and run just like a regular project without changes?

Looking forward to getting some quick info on this. Can anyone help me?

Many Thanks.
