We are pleased to announce that Spring IDE 2.0.2 RC1 has been released! This is the first and only release candidate for Spring IDE 2.0.2, introducing various feature refinements (new content assist and hyperlink architecture) as well as fixes for bugs that have been reported against 2.0.1.
See the JIRA roadmap for a complete list of bugs fixes and new features. The release candidate is available from the development update site at http://springide.org/updatesite-dev.
The 2.0.2 final release is scheduled for December 2nd.


I can’t install on 3.3
Hi.
Great work guys ! The installation into eclipse europa (3.3.1.1) was smooth and after a project clean, I finally got rid of the annoying errors shown in my applicationContext.xml due to an incompatibility with Spring 2.5.
Regards
It does seem that it won’t install under Eclipse 3.3,
more specifically: eclipse-jee-europa-fall2-linux-gtk
When using:
- springide_updatesite_dev_2.0.2-rc1_v200711172000.zip
- Europa Discovery Site
via the help/Software Updates/Find and install… menu
You get the following error:
Spring IDE Dependencies (only for Eclipse 3.2.x) (2.0.2.v200711172000) requires plug-in “org.eclipse.jdt (3.2.0)”, or equivalent.
Even when using the “Select Required” button.
So… is this an eclipse 3.2 only release? If so, when is support for 3.3 expected?
(Thanks for your hard work creating the spring-ide!)
Hi.
@Langley: Try the following: After inputing the new update site url, deselect some optional packages (I can’t remember what exactly, but things like connectors, etc.) until you get rid of the errors. BTW, the Select Required Function of eclipse Update Manager really sucks.
Regards.
it can’t be work in eclipse 3.3.1.
just like langley said: Spring IDE Dependencies (only for Eclipse 3.2.x). so how about the 2.02 final which will be scheduled for December 2nd?
Hi.
@djo.mos :
deselect some optional packages (Spring IDE Dependencies),may be influence the work.
Just to clarify things here: The Spring IDE Dependencies (only for Eclipse 3.2.x) feature - just like the name should imply - is only meant to install on Eclipse version 3.2.
If you run Eclipse 3.3 or 3.4 there is no need to install this feature as the contents is already included in the Eclipse platform.
Spring IDE 2.0.2 RC1 and the final version should install fine on 3.2 and 3.3 following this guideline: Just don’t select the dependency feature on 3.2

Why aren’t the trac tickets viewable by anonymous users?
I was curious to see the remaining open tickets for the next releases…
The Trac tickets are not valid anymore. We migrated to JIRA which is available at http://springide.org/jira. You can read more about that here.
Hi guys,
I just installed 2.0.2 final version from the update site. Everything went smooth, but nothing works anymore. I also installed it on a fresh install of eclipse 3.3 and the same issue. In the window/preferences menu I see 2 tabs: Project Validators and Project Builders but they are empty and there is nothing I can do there. The same thing after I add the Spring project nature to a project. There are no actions to perform and no way to add a context file.
Is there something wrong with the release? Or am I doing something wrong?
Same problem here, 2.0.2final installs without any problems but afterwards nothing can be done in the spring views/dialogs.
I have been using the 2.0.2rc1 before and it worked just fined. Before I installed the final release I uninstalled rc1 and manually deleted all features and plugins belonging to it, so that there are no potential conflicts (the same procedure I used before I installed rc1).
SorinJ, Andreas,
have you guys installed all features of Spring IDE 2.0.2 besides the backward-compatibility feature? I assume that you run your Eclipse with Java 5. I’ll check the release download with a fresh Eclipse Java EE distro right now.
Christian
I have tried to install it several times using different set of features, it never worked. My environment is Eclipse 3.3 with Java 6 on Windows XP
Andreas
same for me. after upgrading from 2.0.0 to 2.0.2 lots of things failing to work properly and the eclipse error log is full of junk about org.springframework.ide. Eclipse 3.3, Java 6
Here are my findings with Spring IDE 2.0.2.
The 2.0.2 release works without any problem on the Eclipse 3.3 Java EE distribution and Java 5. It is up to you to determine if you want to use the extension or integration features. Remember just having Eclipse 3.3 installed is not enough. Furthermore don’t try to install the “Spring IDE Dependencies (only for Eclipse 3.2.x)” feature as this serves to keep backward-compatibility with Eclise 3.2.
If you plan to run Spring IDE on Java 6 you need to install the “Spring IDE OSGi Extension (optional)” feature. This is due to a known bug in 2.0.2 with Java 6 and Spring 2.5.
It would be a great help if you could provide the content of the error log and attach that to a JIRA issue.
sorry, but why don’t I fucking see that message written in big red letters on the first page? sorry to be that exited, but you know what i mean :).
PS. i don’t use Spring 2.5, i use spring 2.0.1
PPS. now even worse with springide OSGi addon installed. i can’t even edit the config file packages and can’t see the beans in the SpringExplorer. but no exceptions so far :D
PPPS. switched to springIDE 2.0.0 - thank god everything works. you guys should you know better test your stuff ;). Eclipse 3.3 (july 2007), Java 6.02, Spring 2.0.1
konkere,
I would be more than happy to help but for that you definitely need to calm down a bit. Secondly please open appropriate bug reports in Spring IDE’s JIRA with attaching your Eclipse Configuration details and stack traces from the error log.
That way I think we can solve your problem as installing for hundreds of people just went smoothly as always.
Christian
I hava same problem. no error appears, but it still doesn’t work.
ps: because of network problem, I download the springide_2.0.2_v200712142013.zip instead of website update.
I have posted some installation instructions in the Spring IDE support forum at http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=47760.
Please follow on there.
Christian
Hi,
I followed the indications given in the Spring forum, and it works perfectly to me: eclipse 3.3.1.1 and Java 6.
Thanks for the great work!
Regards.
That is so good to hear after all the problems!
Christian
Yeah, I understand what you mean … :-)
I reiterate my sincere thanks again for the Spring IDE Team and for the formidable work they are doing to make using Spring even easier! The community appreciates that!
sorry, I don’t know how to downland.
my god
yes, how to download the IDE?
For Installation, please go to the Wiki, and find the Installation Chapter
‘org.springframework.aop.config.SimpleBeanFactoryAwareAspectInstanceFactory’ not found’
in errors on aop point-cut reference.
Is it a compatibility problem with spring 2.0 release I’m currently using or a cause is somewhere in configuration?
