Furthermore we have already hundreds of M4 installations out there. Could it be that you are sitting behind a caching proxy? I just loaded the site.xml in my web browser and I can see the M4 entry.

We thought about this but our automatic build doesn’t support this (we are leveraging PDE’s build environment here).

Otherwise, if the plug-ins aren't loaded the feature is marked with errors and the Update Manager wants to resolve those which causes some grief to end users not familiar with the UM issues. ;)

Using that filter, it was extremely easy to find beans by name, and compare different find "sets" just by typing into the filter field. Couldn't you re-enable that filter (make it optional if you must :) - searching just isn't as fast and intuitive! PS: Thanks for increasing the plug-in's stability - since downloading M4 (18.5.), everything has been running stable!

Is Spring IDE 2.0 expected to function on Eclipse 3.2.2? Or will it only work on Eclipse 3.3? We put on hold rolling out our internal Eclipse 3.2.2 until Spring IDE 2.0 is released for GA since we are already using Spring 2.0 as our standard. It would be dumb of us if we were waiting for an incompatible version. Thanks. This might be a dumb question, but I could not find an answer elsewhere.

It is very likely that will work on Eclipse 3.3 as well (currently it does and we are constantly working to keep it compatible). Please note that you need Java SE 5 to run Spring IDE.

This was the reason why this filter is only available for certain tree viewers in Eclipse 3.2. Additionally after migrating Spring IDE's beans view to Eclipse 3.2's Common Navigator Framework using the FilteredTree widget instead of the plain Tree widget wasn't an option anymore. The CommonNavigator viewer has to be used as-is. Maybe with Eclipse 3.3 we will see some support of the FilteredTree widget in the Common Navigator Framework.

Don’t do this!!! Please follow the instructions given here or here in the project’s wiki.
From the infos of the above mentioned update site:

Don’t unzip them into your Eclipse installation directory, as this will potentially destroy your Eclipse installation! Instead use Eclipse’s Update Manager and define one of the zip archives as “Archived Site”.

If you have any issues regarding the installation or usage of Spring IDE please use the corresponding support forum.
